Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wordsmithing at none against WordSmith™'s 2. Wordsmithing also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). WordSmith™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WordSmith™ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Wordsmithing asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wordsmithing holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wordsmithing has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WordSmith™'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Wordsmithing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WordSmith™ ships an update every 2 months, Wordsmithing every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
