# Expression Editor vs SmileTune

The clearest difference is rating: Expression Editor at 4.0 against SmileTune's 2.3. Expression Editor also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (39 vs 3). SmileTune's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Expression Editor sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and SmileTune sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Expression Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expression Editor has 39 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Expression Editor ships an update fortnightly, SmileTune every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
