# Smart Wallpaper vs Banknote ID

The clearest difference is rating: Banknote ID at 4.4 against Smart Wallpaper's 3.4. Banknote ID also leads on ratings volume (210 vs 36). Smart Wallpaper's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Wallpaper sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Banknote ID sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Banknote ID holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Banknote ID has 210 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 38% and 38% positive.

Smart Wallpaper ships an update every 2 weeks, Banknote ID every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
