Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sanwa Connect at none against PLANEX SmaCame's 1. Sanwa Connect also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 8%). PLANEX SmaCame's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
