Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Xodo Smart at 4.7 against Philips SmartSelect's 4.4. Xodo Smart also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 100) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Philips SmartSelect's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (44% vs 34%). 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.
Xodo Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xodo Smart has 1.3K ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Xodo Smart's written reviews are positive against 44% of Philips SmartSelect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Xodo Smart ships an update every 11 months, Philips SmartSelect every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
