Both are free to download. The SmarTest Nerd sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Gartic.io asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gartic.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gartic.io has 5.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of The SmarTest Nerd's written reviews are positive against 42% of Gartic.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The SmarTest Nerd ships an update every 3 weeks, Gartic.io every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
