Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: UA SMART at 100% against SMART GDO's 50%. UA SMART also leads on update cadence (every 10 months vs every 21 months) and device support (4 vs 2). SMART GDO's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SMART GDO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SMART GDO's written reviews are positive against 100% of UA SMART's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SMART GDO ships an update every 21 months, UA SMART every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
