Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Visionauta at 100% against SmartAI's 17%. Visionauta also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 20 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). SmartAI's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
