# Smart Switch vs Smart Switch

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Switch at 3.8 against Smart Switch's 1.0. Smart Switch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). Smart Switch's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
