Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CozyLife Smart at 2.5 against DingDong's 2.0. CozyLife Smart also leads on ratings volume (170 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). DingDong's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
