Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 73MATE at 3.7 against SMART BMS's 2.1. 73MATE also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). SMART BMS's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
