Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Brightlayer Home at 4.7 against ELEGRP HOME's 3.4. Brightlayer Home also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 23) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brightlayer Home has 2.5K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Brightlayer Home's written reviews are positive against 33% of ELEGRP HOME's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brightlayer Home ships an update every 3 weeks, ELEGRP HOME every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
