Both are free to download. SMPRO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Frame Art sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SMPRO holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 386 and 374 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of SMPRO's written reviews are positive against 79% of Frame Art's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
