Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Color Control Niko at 5.0 against LED Light's 4.4. Color Control Niko also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). LED Light's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 19 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Control Niko holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LED Light has 130 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Color Control Niko's written reviews are positive against 38% of LED Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Color Control Niko ships an update every 19 months, LED Light fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
