Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dynalite Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Philips SmartSelect has 100 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Dynalite Control's written reviews are positive against 44% of Philips SmartSelect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dynalite Control ships an update every 3 months, Philips SmartSelect every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
