# Smart Switch vs Share

Smart Switch and Share both sit at 3.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Smart Switch's written reviews are positive against 17% of Share's. Share's advantage is ratings volume (249 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Switch sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Share sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.8 for Smart Switch against 3.7 for Share. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Share has 249 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Smart Switch's written reviews are positive against 17% of Share's.

Smart Switch ships an update fortnightly, Share every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
