Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nordlux Smart Light at none against Three's shown. Nordlux Smart Light also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Three's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Nordlux Smart Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Three has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Three's written reviews are positive against 0% of Nordlux Smart Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Three ships an update every 2 weeks, Nordlux Smart Light every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
