# Smoosh! vs Pathi

The clearest difference is rating: Pathi at 4.6 against Smoosh!'s 3.9. Pathi also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 31). Smoosh!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smoosh! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Pathi sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pathi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pathi has 1.2K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Smoosh!'s written reviews are positive against 71% of Pathi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
