Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mi at 2.8 against My smartLED's 2.4. Mi also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 17.0). My smartLED's advantage is ratings volume (489 vs 6) and review sentiment (26% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mi holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My smartLED has 489 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Mi's written reviews are positive against 26% of My smartLED's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mi ships an update every 9 days, My smartLED every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
