Verdict
Surplife and Rino Smart both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Rino Smart's written reviews are positive against 53% of Surplife's. Rino Smart also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). Surplife's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
