Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Twinkly at none against LED's shown. Twinkly also leads on ratings volume (48K vs 149) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). LED's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Twinkly holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twinkly has 48K ratings behind it against 149, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Twinkly's written reviews are positive against 43% of LED's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
