Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cheez at 4.6 against SmartDV's 1.0. Cheez also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (25% vs 0%). SmartDV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
