# Smart & Final vs Noble Perks

The clearest difference is rating: Smart & Final at 4.6 against Noble Perks's 2.3. Smart & Final also leads on ratings volume (9.7K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Noble Perks's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Smart & Final holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart & Final has 9.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Smart & Final's written reviews are positive against 33% of Noble Perks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart & Final ships an update every 2 months, Noble Perks every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
