Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pros And Tools at none against Smart Tools's 1. Pros And Tools also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Smart Tools's advantage is ratings volume (322 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
