Nanoleaf are a disaster.

Just check out their SubReddit if you need evidence.

Their architecture is a mess.

So many people have ditched all their Nanoleaf products and gone back to Hue.

Any 'cost savings' are blown away by the time wasted trying to get these devices working again when they go down.

Their customer support is appalling — and they clearly don't care.

I've been with Hue since 2015 and I still have everything I bought back then and it still works. I've given thought to selling and moving to another system every time I need to add or expand but I always come to the conclusion that Hue has the most worked out and reliable system. I hate how expensive their stuff is but I know it works and it hasn't failed me yet. I even bought a Samsung TV with Hue Sync capability so my lights sync to the content on the screen lol.

I actually got some Hue bulbs and hated their CRI, lack of Matter support, and astronomical prices.

Went with Nanoleaf Matter bulbs and they’ve been great. High CRI, lower price than Hue, and Matter over Thread. The key is to set up on Apple Home BEFORE the nanoleaf app.
