# MyGabb vs Smoothcomp

The clearest difference is rating: MyGabb at 4.5 against Smoothcomp's 3.0. MyGabb also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 32). Smoothcomp's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 11%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smoothcomp sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MyGabb asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyGabb holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyGabb has 8.2K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of MyGabb'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.

MyGabb ships an update fortnightly, Smoothcomp every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
