# Blurt vs LED Banner Pro

The clearest difference is ads: Blurt at none against LED Banner Pro's shown. LED Banner Pro's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 28) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blurt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and LED Banner Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Blurt against 4.8 for LED Banner Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LED Banner Pro has 6.1K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Blurt's written reviews are positive against 81% of LED Banner Pro's.

Blurt ships an update every 5 weeks, LED Banner Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
