The Sikh Rehat Maryada is a code of conduct for Sikhs. The app has both a gurmukhi (punjabi) and English version of the most current rehat maryada. This document was preceded by the Gurdwaras Act of 1925, which laid down the definition of a Sikh. In 1915 and later in 1931, attempts were made to create a modern standard rehat ("code"). In 1950 the current Sikh Rehat Maryada was produced based upon the work of Sikh scholars, seeking to better standardise Sikh practices throughout the international community.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sankat Mochan at 3.9 against Maryada's 3.0. Sankat Mochan also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). Maryada's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
