Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SmartRSS at 91% against Stuff India's 50%. SmartRSS also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). Stuff India's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
