Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Smart Customs at none against GOFAR's shown. Smart Customs also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). GOFAR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
