# Smart vs Magic Dialer

The clearest difference is rating: Smart at 4.0 against Magic Dialer's 3.5. Smart also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). Magic Dialer's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 12 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Magic Dialer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Dialer has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Smart's written reviews are positive against 59% of Magic Dialer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart ships an update every 12 months, Magic Dialer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
