# Smart Post vs SocialGest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Post at 61% against SocialGest's 35%. Smart Post also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Post sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and SocialGest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Post holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Post has 427 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Smart Post's written reviews are positive against 35% of SocialGest's.

Smart Post ships an update every 10 days, SocialGest every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
