Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ylight at every 3 days against HF Smart's every 2 months. Ylight also leads on rating (2.0 vs 1.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). HF Smart's advantage is ratings volume (199 vs 6) and review sentiment (14% vs 0%). 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.
Ylight holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HF Smart has 199 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Ylight's written reviews are positive against 14% of HF Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ylight ships an update every 3 days, HF Smart every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
