Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MacroVision at 100% against Hatch Sleep's 9%. MacroVision also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Hatch Sleep's advantage is ratings volume (62K vs 20) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
