Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Smart at Free against Ceiling Fan Balancer's $2.99. Smart also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 8 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Ceiling Fan Balancer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#186 vs unranked). On ads there is nothing between them.
