Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Celebright Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Celebright Cloud has 736 ratings behind it against 144, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Celebright Cloud's written reviews are positive against 54% of Bosso Lights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Celebright Cloud ships an update every 2 weeks, Bosso Lights every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
