Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScanWallet at 86% against SmartNote's 50%. ScanWallet also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (128 vs 10). SmartNote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
