Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lumary at 4.4 against BRIGHTLUX's 2.3. Lumary also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 20). BRIGHTLUX's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 28%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lumary holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lumary has 4.5K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Lumary's written reviews are positive against 50% of BRIGHTLUX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lumary ships an update monthly, BRIGHTLUX every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
