Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Status Hub at 4.9 against OP's 4.2. Status Hub also leads on ratings volume (8.5K vs 116) and review sentiment (69% vs 47%). OP's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
