Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Status Smart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ENERGIZER SMART has 388 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Status Smart's written reviews are positive against 40% of ENERGIZER SMART's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Status Smart ships an update every 6 months, ENERGIZER SMART every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
