Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LOCKE at none against SmoothSwing's 1. LOCKE also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). SmoothSwing's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (12K vs 11). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
