# Google Assistant vs Samsung Smart Switch Mobile

The clearest difference is rating: Google Assistant at 4.7 against Samsung Smart Switch Mobile's 3.1. Google Assistant also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 219) and review sentiment (48% vs 26%). Samsung Smart Switch Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases).
