Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VTB at 3.4 against SMART BMS's 2.1. VTB also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). SMART BMS's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and ratings volume (76 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VTB holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMART BMS has 76 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of SMART BMS's written reviews are positive against 0% of VTB'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, VTB every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
