Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: XMcosy+ at 4.7 against Ipoolight's 2.3. XMcosy+ also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 21). Ipoolight's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
XMcosy+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XMcosy+ has 1.1K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Ipoolight's written reviews are positive against 17% of XMcosy+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ipoolight ships an update every 3 weeks, XMcosy+ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
