# Magic Lights ES vs Laser Disco Lights

The clearest difference is rating: Laser Disco Lights at 3.7 against Magic Lights ES's 2.5. Laser Disco Lights also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (503 vs 74). Magic Lights ES's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Laser Disco Lights sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Magic Lights ES asks for nothing beyond the download.

Laser Disco Lights holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Laser Disco Lights has 503 ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Magic Lights ES's written reviews are positive against 20% of Laser Disco Lights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Magic Lights ES ships an update every 26 months, Laser Disco Lights every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
