Events can be one-time or repeating daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, with support for multi-day celebrations. Add countdown widgets to your Home Screen in multiple sizes, choose exactly which event each widget shows, and see your events in a clean list or grid inside the app. No Ads, no Subscriptions!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SMARTY at Free against Event Countdown Widget's $1.99. Event Countdown Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
