Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fright Light at none against SoundReact's 1. Fright Light also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). SoundReact's advantage is update cadence (every 13 months vs every 77 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
