# Smart Couple vs Twig

The clearest difference is rating: Twig at 4.6 against Smart Couple's 3.6. Twig also leads on ratings volume (539 vs 18). Smart Couple's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Twig sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Smart Couple asks for nothing beyond the download.

Twig holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twig has 539 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Smart Couple's written reviews are positive against 75% of Twig's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart Couple ships an update every 6 weeks, Twig every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
