Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SKC SmartWave holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pollo Live Pro has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SKC SmartWave's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pollo Live Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SKC SmartWave ships an update every 18 months, Pollo Live Pro every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
