Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LEDit at 4.8 against MINI LED's 3.0. LEDit also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 4) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). MINI LED's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
