Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Laser Examiner at none against AlarmSMS Controller's 1. Laser Examiner also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). AlarmSMS Controller's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
