Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DESLOC at 100% against CE Smart's 41%. DESLOC also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). CE Smart's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 19). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
CE Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CE Smart has 2.3K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of CE Smart's written reviews are positive against 100% of DESLOC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CE Smart ships an update every 4 months, DESLOC every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
