# Fanlight Sync vs fanSync WiFi

The clearest difference is rating: Fanlight Sync at 2.0 against fanSync WiFi's 1.4. Fanlight Sync also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). fanSync WiFi's advantage is review sentiment (10% vs 0%) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). On price, update cadence, 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.

Fanlight Sync holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: fanSync WiFi has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Fanlight Sync's written reviews are positive against 10% of fanSync WiFi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fanlight Sync ships an update every 7 months, fanSync WiFi every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
