Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cloud Intelligence at none against SmartLife's 36. Cloud Intelligence also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). SmartLife's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (267K vs 8.2K). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SmartLife sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Cloud Intelligence asks for nothing beyond the download.
SmartLife holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartLife has 267K ratings behind it against 8.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of SmartLife's written reviews are positive against 59% of Cloud Intelligence's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmartLife ships an update every 6 days, Cloud Intelligence every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
