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.
dewenwils holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dewenwils has 237 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of dewenwils's written reviews are positive against 100% of SmartWings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
dewenwils ships an update every 10 months, SmartWings monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
