The clearest difference is ads: Smash Stats Tracker at none against CTA Dex's shown. Smash Stats Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). CTA Dex's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 376). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
