The clearest difference is rating: SmartCredit® at 3.4 against Smart's 1.7. SmartCredit® also leads on review sentiment (34% vs 0%). Smart's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
