Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Xbox Family Settings at 4.0 against Smoothcomp's 3.0. Xbox Family Settings also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 32). Smoothcomp's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 12%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smoothcomp sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Xbox Family Settings asks for nothing beyond the download.
Xbox Family Settings holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xbox Family Settings has 6.3K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Xbox Family Settings's written reviews are positive against 28% of Smoothcomp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Xbox Family Settings ships an update every 2 months, Smoothcomp every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
