Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hostrol Smart holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My smartLED has 443 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of My smartLED's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hostrol Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My smartLED ships an update every 3 months, Hostrol Smart every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
