# Studio Light Pro vs Color Light

The clearest difference is rating: Studio Light Pro at 5.0 against Color Light's 4.0. Studio Light Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Color Light's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Light sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Studio Light Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

Studio Light Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Light has 336 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Studio Light Pro's written reviews are positive against 24% of Color Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Studio Light Pro ships an update every 13 months, Color Light every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
