# SMPRO vs PopFrame

The clearest difference is ads: PopFrame at none against SMPRO's shown. PopFrame also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (83% vs 65%). SMPRO's advantage is ratings volume (386 vs 21) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMPRO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and PopFrame sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SMPRO against 4.5 for PopFrame. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMPRO has 386 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of SMPRO's written reviews are positive against 83% of PopFrame's.

SMPRO ships an update every 6 weeks, PopFrame weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
