Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmartLife at 4.7 against GOOLRC's 2.7. SmartLife also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 21). GOOLRC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartLife holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartLife has 1.9K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of GOOLRC's written reviews are positive against 27% of SmartLife's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GOOLRC ships an update fortnightly, SmartLife every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
