Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lux Light Meter for Mobile at 4.5 against Lux Light Meter Pro's 3.9. Lux Light Meter for Mobile also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Lux Light Meter Pro's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 237). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lux Light Meter Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Lux Light Meter for Mobile sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lux Light Meter for Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lux Light Meter Pro has 5.2K ratings behind it against 237, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Lux Light Meter Pro's written reviews are positive against 17% of Lux Light Meter for Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lux Light Meter Pro ships an update every 3 months, Lux Light Meter for Mobile fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
