ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Epson Creative Projection holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: illumibot has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Epson Creative Projection's written reviews are positive against 57% of illumibot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Epson Creative Projection ships an update every 9 months, illumibot every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
