Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Juky sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. WLED asks for nothing beyond the download.
WLED holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of WLED's written reviews are positive against 57% of Juky's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WLED ships an update every 2 months, Juky every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
