Pick Apollo Client if…
Apollo Client suits JavaScript or TypeScript developers building applications with GraphQL, especially those using React or one of its community integrations. Teams considering GraphOS should account for the free router limit and retention period.

Lighthouse suits PHP developers building GraphQL APIs on Laravel or Lumen applications that use Eloquent. It is for teams prepared to host the package themselves and provide separate GraphQL tooling if needed.
