# PromptSmart Pro vs Frame.io

The clearest difference is price: Frame.io at Free against PromptSmart Pro's $29.99. Frame.io also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 27%). PromptSmart Pro's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 892) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Frame.io is free to download; PromptSmart Pro costs $29.99 up front. PromptSmart Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Frame.io asks for nothing beyond the download.

PromptSmart Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PromptSmart Pro has 11K ratings behind it against 892, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of PromptSmart Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of Frame.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PromptSmart Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, Frame.io fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
