The clearest difference is rating: FTPManager at 4.5 against TWS Smart's 1.0. FTPManager also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 2). TWS Smart's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
