Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SMART at 5.0 against Photo Widget's 4.5. SMART also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Photo Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
