Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CAR at 5.0 against Hi DVR's 2.3. CAR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Hi DVR's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
