Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mediatek SmartDevice at 2.3 against BT Notifier's 1.8. Mediatek SmartDevice also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mediatek SmartDevice holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mediatek SmartDevice has 115 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Mediatek SmartDevice's written reviews are positive against 14% of BT Notifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mediatek SmartDevice ships an update every 5 weeks, BT Notifier every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
