Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart & Final at 4.6 against Epic Perks's 3.0. Smart & Final also leads on ratings volume (9.6K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Epic Perks's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
