Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PROOF + at 4.6 against SMART Recovery's 4.2. PROOF + also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (103 vs 25). SMART Recovery's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
