Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CHARSHINE at none against Smart Home's 12. CHARSHINE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Smart Home's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
