ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SmartGate IOType holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Call Recorder has 973 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Call Recorder's written reviews are positive against 29% of SmartGate IOType's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Call Recorder ships an update every 4 months, SmartGate IOType every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
