# Smart vs Alias

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart at 70% against Alias's 0%. Alias's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Alias sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alias holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alias has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Smart's written reviews are positive against 0% of Alias's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart ships an update every 4 months, Alias every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
