Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SM Rewards at 5.0 against FasCard's 2.1. SM Rewards also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). FasCard's advantage is ratings volume (163 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
