ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BURNLAB holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaserBurn has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BURNLAB's written reviews are positive against 8% of LaserBurn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BURNLAB ships an update every 5 weeks, LaserBurn every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 19, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
