The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home at 4.5 against OWLMOW's 2.0. Smart Home also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 4) and chart position (#47 vs unranked). OWLMOW's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
