# SmartPTZ vs TopDirectorTitle

The clearest difference is rating: TopDirectorTitle at 5.0 against SmartPTZ's 4.6. TopDirectorTitle also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). SmartPTZ's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartPTZ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and TopDirectorTitle sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TopDirectorTitle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartPTZ has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SmartPTZ ships an update every 8 days, TopDirectorTitle every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
