Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HTS at 3.2 against HS GPS V5's 2.5. HTS also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). HS GPS V5's advantage is ratings volume (219 vs 15) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
