Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Brightlayer Home at 4.7 against UltraPro's 4.2. Brightlayer Home also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 270). UltraPro's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Brightlayer Home holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brightlayer Home has 2.1K ratings behind it against 270, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of UltraPro's written reviews are positive against 30% of Brightlayer Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UltraPro ships an update every 4 months, Brightlayer Home every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
