# PromptSmart Pro vs vMix Panel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: vMix Panel at 100% against PromptSmart Pro's 28%. vMix Panel also leads on price (Free vs $29.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). PromptSmart Pro's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (12K vs 5). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

vMix Panel is free to download; PromptSmart Pro costs $29.99 up front. PromptSmart Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. vMix Panel asks for nothing beyond the download.

PromptSmart Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PromptSmart Pro has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of PromptSmart Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of vMix Panel'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, vMix Panel every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
