Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LiFePO4 Power at 50% against SMART BMS's 17%. LiFePO4 Power also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). SMART BMS's advantage is rating (2.2 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (78 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

SMART BMS holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMART BMS has 78 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of SMART BMS's written reviews are positive against 50% of LiFePO4 Power's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SMART BMS ships an update every 6 weeks, LiFePO4 Power fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
