# CloudEdge vs STLight

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CloudEdge at 63% against STLight's 0%. CloudEdge also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 1). STLight's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudEdge sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. STLight asks for nothing beyond the download.

STLight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudEdge has 21K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of CloudEdge's written reviews are positive against 0% of STLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudEdge ships an update every 2 weeks, STLight every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 15, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
