Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dee at 100% against Smith's's 15%. Dee also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Smith's's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 49 months) and ratings volume (90K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
