Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OmniLogic at none against Ecosmarte's shown. OmniLogic also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 1). Ecosmarte's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
