# Lazy Lighting vs ProjectX

Lazy Lighting and ProjectX both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of ProjectX's written reviews are positive against 50% of Lazy Lighting's. Lazy Lighting's advantage is chart position (#75 vs unranked) and ratings volume (329 vs 47). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lazy Lighting sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ProjectX sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Lazy Lighting against 4.6 for ProjectX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lazy Lighting has 329 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Lazy Lighting's written reviews are positive against 73% of ProjectX's.

Lazy Lighting ships an update every 8 days, ProjectX every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
