Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Xactimate at 4.6 against SettleAssist's 3.8. Xactimate also leads on ratings volume (8.2K vs 276) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). SettleAssist's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
