Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SmartFriends at 83% against IQ Test's 35%. SmartFriends also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). IQ Test's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
