ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ENERGIZER SMART holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ENERGIZER SMART has 388 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of ENERGIZER SMART's written reviews are positive against 50% of BRIGHTLUX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ENERGIZER SMART ships an update every 9 months, BRIGHTLUX every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
