Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SWPPP at 5.0 against Procore's 4.6. SWPPP also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). Procore's advantage is ratings volume (46K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
