Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Elgin Smart at 4.7 against Jwcom Smart's 4.0. Elgin Smart also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Jwcom Smart's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 16%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Elgin Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elgin Smart has 44 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Jwcom Smart's written reviews are positive against 16% of Elgin Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jwcom Smart ships an update every 3 months, Elgin Smart every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
