FPPMon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

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