# Smart vs Alias!

The clearest difference is rating: Alias! at 4.6 against Smart's 4.0. Alias! also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 70%) and ratings volume (42 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Alias! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alias! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alias! has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Smart's written reviews are positive against 94% of Alias!'s.

Smart ships an update every 4 months, Alias! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
