Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HootBoard at none against Lynck's shown. HootBoard also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 24%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Lynck's advantage is ratings volume (79 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
