The clearest difference is rating: SmartFar at 4.0 against Yoolax Home's 1.7. SmartFar also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 14.0). Yoolax Home's advantage is ratings volume (65 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
