Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SL拡大鏡 at Free against SmoothOCR's $3.99. SL拡大鏡 also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). SmoothOCR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 57 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
