Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chèque at 79% against Smartbox®'s 9%. Chèque also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (117 vs 8). Smartbox®'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
