Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Dentist at 4.9 against Assistant's 4.0. Smart Dentist also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (60 vs 1). Assistant's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
