Control a compatible electric sit-stand desk from iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. DeskOrbit keeps the current height and Stop control close at hand, with held Up and Down controls, a tactile target-height slider and named positions. The free version controls one desk with two named positions. DeskOrbit Pro adds unlimited desks and positions, automations, optional iCloud sync, interactive widgets, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts actions, Action Button support and direct Apple Watch control. A one-time 14-day trial unlocks every Pro feature before you decide on the Lifetime purchase. DeskOrbit includes a safe Demo mode that needs no desk. Real movement is protected by explicit Stop controls, range validation, timeout and stall handling. iOS never starts unattended desk movement from a suspended background process. No account, advertising, tracking or analytics. DeskOrbit is independent software and is not affiliated with any desk manufacturer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DeskOrbit at every 3 weeks against Yeelight's every 5 weeks. DeskOrbit also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Yeelight's advantage is iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
