Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lightster at 75% against One Poll's 23%. Lightster also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (9 vs 3). One Poll's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). 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.
One Poll holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of One Poll's written reviews are positive against 75% of Lightster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
One Poll ships an update monthly, Lightster every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
