# Smartr vs YomiPlay

The clearest difference is ads: YomiPlay at none against Smartr's shown. YomiPlay also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Smartr's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smartr sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and YomiPlay sells 3 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 — 5.0 for Smartr against 5.0 for YomiPlay. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smartr has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Smartr ships an update every 6 weeks, YomiPlay every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
