# iNet vs Smart

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart at none against iNet's 1. Smart also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). iNet's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Smart asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNet has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iNet ships an update every 5 weeks, Smart every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
