# WiFi View vs WLED

The clearest difference is rating: WLED at 4.0 against WiFi View's 2.2. WLED also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 16%). WiFi View's advantage is ratings volume (180 vs 10) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

WLED holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WiFi View has 180 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of WiFi View's written reviews are positive against 51% of WLED's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
