# Zosi Smart vs ViewLink

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zosi Smart at 66% against ViewLink's 0%. Zosi Smart also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (20K vs 22). ViewLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zosi Smart sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. ViewLink asks for nothing beyond the download.

ViewLink holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zosi Smart has 20K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Zosi Smart's written reviews are positive against 0% of ViewLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zosi Smart ships an update fortnightly, ViewLink every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
