Verdict
Secret Spa and Heartcore both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Secret Spa's written reviews are positive against 20% of Heartcore's. Secret Spa also leads on ratings volume (145 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Heartcore's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
