# MyLight vs LED DMX

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.

Both are free to download. MyLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. LED DMX asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyLight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyLight has 29K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of MyLight's written reviews are positive against 11% of LED DMX's.

MyLight ships an update every 5 months, LED DMX every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
