Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart at 5.0 against Google Smart Lock's 2.5. Smart also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Google Smart Lock's advantage is ratings volume (614 vs 1) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
