i3 lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Maestro KNX's written reviews are positive against 0% of i3 lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Maestro KNX ships an update every 4 months, i3 lite every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
