This test is both very unfair, and also fair:
First, I just placed the two telescopes outside and set them to image the same three objects for the same amount of time, and I didn’t try super hard to keep the imaging area the same. Both telescopes have mosaic modes, and if I used them, I used the android app for each telescope to “eyeball” them to be about the same general size around the target.

Dwarf Lab Dwarf 2 vs ZWO Seestar S50 Solar shootout
I took my Dwarf Lab Dwarf 2 and my ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescopes outside and imaged the sun. Here is a 1:1 pixel side by side comparison of the results (click for full sized image):
Unlike in the daytime lunar shootout, the Seestar automatically acquired the sun, giving it both the image quality and ease of use wins. Here are the two videos showing my procedure and the GUI for each smart telescope’s phone app:
Dwarf Lab Dwarf 2 vs ZWO Seestar S50 DAYTIME lunar shootout
I took both of my smart telescopes outside this morning and shot some images of the moon in the daytime. I have a video that outlines the session (Dwarf2 won for user experience, SeeStar won for image quality) here:
Here they are side by size at 1:1 pixel size (click for full size):

And here are two of the raw images for you to look at as you would like:
