Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Kodak Luma at 4.1 against Smart Night Light's 3.1. Kodak Luma also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 343) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Smart Night Light's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 10%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Kodak Luma holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kodak Luma has 2K ratings behind it against 343, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Kodak Luma's written reviews are positive against 46% of Smart Night Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kodak Luma ships an update every 2 months, Smart Night Light every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
