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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmarTEC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Balance BMS has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SmarTEC's written reviews are positive against 31% of Balance BMS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmarTEC ships an update every 2 months, Balance BMS every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
