ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FPPMon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WLED+ has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of FPPMon's written reviews are positive against 88% of WLED+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FPPMon ships an update every 2 weeks, WLED+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
