Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Monster Smart App at 4.6 against Light Show's 2.5. Monster Smart App also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 42). Light Show's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, 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.
Monster Smart App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Smart App has 26K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Monster Smart App's written reviews are positive against 28% of Light Show's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Monster Smart App ships an update every 5 months, Light Show every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
