# UNIBOX PLUS vs Smarters Pro

UNIBOX PLUS and Smarters Pro both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of UNIBOX PLUS's written reviews are positive against 15% of Smarters Pro's. UNIBOX PLUS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Smarters Pro's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 27) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smarters Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. UNIBOX PLUS asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for UNIBOX PLUS against 4.5 for Smarters Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smarters Pro has 9K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of UNIBOX PLUS's written reviews are positive against 15% of Smarters Pro's.
