Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MSTI Smart at 5.0 against Reolink's 4.0. MSTI Smart also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Reolink's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (9.7K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
