Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Home + Guest at none against USmart Go's shown. Home + Guest also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). USmart Go's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
