Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Smart Water Care at none against iopool's shown. Smart Water Care also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). iopool's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
