This app is intended to upgrade the firmware of some Elite indoor trainers. The app automatically checks if there’s an available firmware and, if the user confirms, it proceeds with the update. Tips / troubleshooting: - Be sure that the trainer is powered and the blue led is blinking. - Keep the device close to the trainer to improve the transmission - Close the all the app using Bluetooth in background (my E-training, Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest, etc…) - If you have problem in the connection, try rebooting the phone/tablet and the trainer. If this doesn’t fix the problem, contact us at myetraining@elite-it.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LED Ally at 3.1 against Upgrado's 2.0. LED Ally also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Upgrado's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 19%). On price, ratings volume, 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.
LED Ally holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 23 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of LED Ally's written reviews are positive against 31% of Upgrado's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LED Ally ships an update every 3 weeks, Upgrado every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
