# Smart Magnifier vs Zippy Tools

The clearest difference is rating: Zippy Tools at 5.0 against Smart Magnifier's 3.9. Zippy Tools also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Smart Magnifier's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Magnifier sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Zippy Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
