Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Python Compiler at none against SmartPython's 1. Python Compiler also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). SmartPython's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
