Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lights2 at 75% against Celebright Cloud's 47%. Lights2 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Celebright Cloud's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (686 vs 7). 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.
Celebright Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Celebright Cloud has 686 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Lights2's written reviews are positive against 47% of Celebright Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lights2 ships an update every 3 months, Celebright Cloud every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
