Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Light ＋ at 61% against Lotus Light Lantern's 9%. Light ＋ also leads on ads (none vs shown). Lotus Light Lantern's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Light ＋ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Lotus Light Lantern sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lotus Light Lantern holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lotus Light Lantern has 293 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Light ＋'s written reviews are positive against 9% of Lotus Light Lantern's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Light ＋ ships an update every 2 months, Lotus Light Lantern every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
