ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Epson Setting Assistant holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson Setting Assistant has 447 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Smart Projector Control's written reviews are positive against 23% of Epson Setting Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
