Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CapAdv at free against Smart Trader's free with in-app purchases. CapAdv also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Smart Trader's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
