Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyLight at 76% against LED DMX's 11%. MyLight also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (29K vs 91). LED DMX's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
