Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SmartLife at 1.9K against IBRIGHT's 236. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
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.
SmartLife holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartLife has 1.9K ratings behind it against 236, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of SmartLife's written reviews are positive against 29% of IBRIGHT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmartLife ships an update every 4 months, IBRIGHT every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
