# SMPRO vs Frame Art

The clearest difference is rating: SMPRO at 4.5 against Frame Art's 4.3. Frame Art's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 65%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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.

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.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
