# My smartLED vs Magic lamp

The clearest difference is rating: Magic lamp at 5.0 against My smartLED's 2.4. Magic lamp also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). My smartLED's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (443 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Magic lamp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My smartLED has 443 ratings behind it against 1, 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 Magic lamp'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, Magic lamp every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively.
