Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stardust Harmonia at 5.0 against TECHMANIA's 4.0. Stardust Harmonia also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). TECHMANIA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
