# MiBoxer Smart vs WLED+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WLED+ at 88% against MiBoxer Smart's 55%. WLED+ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and device support (4 vs 2). MiBoxer Smart's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (178 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

MiBoxer Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MiBoxer Smart has 178 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of MiBoxer Smart's written reviews are positive against 88% of WLED+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MiBoxer Smart ships an update every 9 months, WLED+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
