Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SmartBox Support at none against Car Auto Play's 12. SmartBox Support also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). Car Auto Play's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
