Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sub at every 5 weeks against CleanLife Smart's every 6 months. Sub also leads on ratings volume (788 vs 13). CleanLife Smart's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
