# Anywhere vs Smoothi

The clearest difference is ads: Smoothi at none against Anywhere's shown. Smoothi also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Anywhere's advantage is ratings volume (442 vs 5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anywhere sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Smoothi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Anywhere against 4.6 for Smoothi. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anywhere has 442 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Anywhere's written reviews are positive against 75% of Smoothi's.

Anywhere ships an update every 9 days, Smoothi every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
