# SMOBOT vs Typhur

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Typhur at 7.5K against SMOBOT's 28. Typhur also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). SMOBOT's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Typhur holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Typhur has 7.5K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of SMOBOT's written reviews are positive against 62% of Typhur's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
