# Light Stream vs Led Light Controller Home App

The clearest difference is rating: Led Light Controller Home App at 4.1 against Light Stream's 3.2. Led Light Controller Home App also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 26) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). Light Stream's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Led Light Controller Home App sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Light Stream asks for nothing beyond the download.

Led Light Controller Home App holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Led Light Controller Home App has 11K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Light Stream's written reviews are positive against 6% of Led Light Controller Home App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Light Stream ships an update monthly, Led Light Controller Home App fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
