# TypeFlow Chinese vs Smart Home Manager

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home Manager at 4.9 against TypeFlow Chinese's 2.9. TypeFlow Chinese's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TypeFlow Chinese sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Home Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Home Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TypeFlow Chinese's written reviews are positive against 80% of Smart Home Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TypeFlow Chinese ships an update every 2 months, Smart Home Manager every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
