# Smart vs Party Roulette

The clearest difference is monetization model: Smart at free against Party Roulette's freemium. Smart also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Party Roulette's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Party Roulette sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 5.0 for Smart against 5.0 for Party Roulette. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Party Roulette has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Smart ships an update every 7 months, Party Roulette every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
