Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PopFrame at none against SMPRO's shown. PopFrame also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (83% vs 65%). SMPRO's advantage is ratings volume (386 vs 21) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
