Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WLED Pro at 4.3 against ZigBeeDirect's 3.0. WLED Pro also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 34 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 2). ZigBeeDirect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
