# Smart Switch vs Quick Share

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Switch at 54% against Quick Share's 7%. Quick Share's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 170). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Switch sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $18.49 per 7 days and Quick Share sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quick Share holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Share has 3.1K ratings behind it against 170, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Smart Switch's written reviews are positive against 7% of Quick Share's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart Switch ships an update every 5 weeks, Quick Share every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
