Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WLED Pro at 4.3 against Mi's 2.4. Mi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (23% vs 9%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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. WLED Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Mi asks for nothing beyond the download.
WLED Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Mi's written reviews are positive against 9% of WLED Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
