# Joy Awards vs Smart Tabla

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Joy Awards at 59% against Smart Tabla's 0%. Joy Awards also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (419 vs 1). Smart Tabla's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Smart Tabla holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joy Awards has 419 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Joy Awards's written reviews are positive against 0% of Smart Tabla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
