# Nero Receiver vs Smart Mirror | TV & Device

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Mirror | TV & Device at 4.2 against Nero Receiver's 3.3. Smart Mirror | TV & Device also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25K vs 6). Nero Receiver's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (5 vs 3).

Both are free to download. Nero Receiver sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Mirror | TV & Device sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Mirror | TV & Device holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Mirror | TV & Device has 25K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
