Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart 145 at 5.0 against Google Voice's 4.3. Smart 145 also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.1). Google Voice's advantage is ratings volume (62K vs 1) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
