Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smash.IO™ at none against Bumper.io's 1. Smash.IO™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). Bumper.io's advantage is ratings volume (196K vs 571). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
