# PinoFBT vs Smart Keys

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Keys at 4.6 against PinoFBT's 3.6. PinoFBT's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PinoFBT sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 3 months and Smart Keys sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Keys holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 348 and 535 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PinoFBT's written reviews are positive against 43% of Smart Keys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PinoFBT ships an update weekly, Smart Keys every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
