Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Toolkit at none against Smart Tools's shown. Toolkit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). Smart Tools's advantage is ratings volume (322 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
