Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DealCheck at none against SmartComps's shown. DealCheck also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). SmartComps's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
