Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
