Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Protractor Smart at 4.6 against Protractor's 1.8. Protractor Smart also leads on ratings volume (242 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Protractor's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 21 months) and review sentiment (64% vs 40%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Protractor Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Protractor Smart has 242 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Protractor Smart's written reviews are positive against 64% of Protractor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Protractor Smart ships an update every 21 months, Protractor every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
