Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Smash ► at none against Smash Hit's shown. Smash ► also leads on iOS requirement (8.4 vs 15.6). Smash Hit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (109K vs 29). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
