Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmoothSwing at 4.8 against PuttPro's 3.7. SmoothSwing also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 12) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). PuttPro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
