Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart Oud at 4.1 against Alrayapoet's 3.0. Smart Oud also leads on ratings volume (207 vs 4). Alrayapoet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
