Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Smart View at none against FastCast.'s shown. Smart View also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 282). FastCast.'s advantage is review sentiment (21% vs 6%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. FastCast. sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Smart View sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart View holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 282 and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of FastCast.'s written reviews are positive against 6% of Smart View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FastCast. ships an update every 2 months, Smart View every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
