Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: sm³ DIR at 4.4 against U9 App's 3.6. sm³ DIR also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 13%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). U9 App's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 53) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
