Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LES app at 3.5 against SmartHub's 2.7. LES app also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). SmartHub's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LES app holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartHub has 1.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of SmartHub's written reviews are positive against 0% of LES app's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SmartHub ships an update every 2 months, LES app every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
