# IPLEX Image Share vs Smart Endoscope

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Endoscope at 46% against IPLEX Image Share's 0%. Smart Endoscope also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (618 vs 3). IPLEX Image Share's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

IPLEX Image Share holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 0% of IPLEX Image Share's written reviews are positive against 46% of Smart Endoscope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
