Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HeimKits at none against Funlux's 11. HeimKits also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). Funlux's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and rating (2.3 vs 2.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
