Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HotSteamerLite at none against AVM.'s shown. HotSteamerLite also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). AVM.'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 38 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
