Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LED at 4.4 against HappyLighting's 3.2. HappyLighting's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (16K vs 149). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LED holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HappyLighting has 16K ratings behind it against 149, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of HappyLighting'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.
