Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jazz Smash at 4.6 against Balance's 3.4. Jazz Smash also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (122 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Balance sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Jazz Smash sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Jazz Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jazz Smash has 122 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Balance's written reviews are positive against 88% of Jazz Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Balance ships an update every 3 months, Jazz Smash every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
