# My smartLED vs LED Light Controller

The clearest difference is rating: LED Light Controller at 4.4 against My smartLED's 2.4. LED Light Controller also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). My smartLED's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (26% vs 0%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LED Light Controller sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. My smartLED asks for nothing beyond the download.

LED Light Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My smartLED has 489 ratings behind it against 41, 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 LED Light Controller'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, LED Light Controller weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
