Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RegioJet at 4.7 against Smartwings's 1.8. RegioJet also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 28 months) and ratings volume (695 vs 5). Smartwings's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RegioJet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RegioJet has 695 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of RegioJet's written reviews are positive against 14% of Smartwings's.
RegioJet ships an update fortnightly, Smartwings every 28 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
