Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmartTrips at 5.0 against Passport Mobile's 2.5. SmartTrips also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Passport Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (149 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
