Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmartPlus at 5.0 against Anker Nebula's 4.3. SmartPlus also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 37%) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). Anker Nebula's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
