Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Send Anywhere at 85% against Smash's 44%. Send Anywhere also leads on ratings volume (55K vs 239) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Smash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
