If your refrigerator filter is primarily for taste and odor, a credible certified compatible filter may be enough. If you rely on the filter for lead or another health-effect claim, confirm the compatible cartridge's exact NSF 53 claim rather than assuming it inherits Samsung's OEM performance.
Replacement interval should follow Samsung's guidance and actual usage/flow. A lower-cost compatible filter becomes more valuable because this is a recurring purchase.
