Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Home V at 51% against Smartz Eaze's 9%. Home V also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Smartz Eaze's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
