The clearest difference is price: Hand Acupoints at $0.99 against Acupuncture Points's $39.99. Hand Acupoints also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Acupuncture Points's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 32 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
