Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HF Smart at 1.7 against SmartMeiControl's 1.4. HF Smart also leads on ratings volume (200 vs 11). SmartMeiControl's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HF Smart holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HF Smart has 200 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of HF Smart's written reviews are positive against 33% of SmartMeiControl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HF Smart ships an update every 2 months, SmartMeiControl every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
