WLED Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of MiBoxer's written reviews are positive against 9% of WLED Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MiBoxer ships an update every 2 months, WLED Pro every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
