# Light vs Ninja Cut!™

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Light at 75% against Ninja Cut!™'s 22%. Light also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (194K vs 1.9K). Ninja Cut!™'s advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Ninja Cut!™ sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Light has 194K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Light's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ninja Cut!™'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
