# Smart vs CamHipro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart at none against CamHipro's 21. Smart also leads on rating (2.7 vs 2.4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). CamHipro's advantage is ratings volume (395 vs 3) and review sentiment (23% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CamHipro sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Smart asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamHipro has 395 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Smart's written reviews are positive against 23% of CamHipro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart ships an update every 6 weeks, CamHipro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
