Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: V at 5.0 against HOTMAC's 2.8. V also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). HOTMAC's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
