Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SMARTbrief at none against Construction Guide's shown. SMARTbrief also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Construction Guide's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
