# Holiday Ultimate Lights vs ColorStream+

The clearest difference is rating: ColorStream+ at 3.0 against Holiday Ultimate Lights's 1.7. ColorStream+ also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 44). Holiday Ultimate Lights's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

ColorStream+ holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorStream+ has 2K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Holiday Ultimate Lights's written reviews are positive against 5% of ColorStream+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Holiday Ultimate Lights ships an update every 6 days, ColorStream+ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
