IN THIS APP • Each product's capture flow, as the SDK presents it • The outcome of every run, with its status, result code and job ID • A history of previous runs, kept on the device • Light and dark themes, and the SDK's theming options Smile ID provides digital KYC, identity verification and onboarding across Africa.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Smile ID at daily against Markdown Editor and Reader's fortnightly. Markdown Editor and Reader's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
