Verdict
ParkSavannah and Smart911 both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of ParkSavannah's written reviews are positive against 37% of Smart911's. Smart911's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 1.3K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
