Both are free to download. Smart Assistant sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and WasTrans sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WasTrans holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WasTrans has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Smart Assistant's written reviews are positive against 25% of WasTrans's.
Smart Assistant ships an update fortnightly, WasTrans every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
