# Luxe Studio vs LUT Lab

The clearest difference is update cadence: Luxe Studio at every 5 days against LUT Lab's every 3 weeks. Luxe Studio also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 2). LUT Lab's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Luxe Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and LUT Lab sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Luxe Studio against 5.0 for LUT Lab. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Luxe Studio has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Luxe Studio ships an update every 5 days, LUT Lab every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
