Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SmartAC.com Pro at Free against Any Text · Widgets's $4.00. SmartAC.com Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Any Text · Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (450 vs 6) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
