Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hours X at 82% against P's 29%. Hours X also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (513 vs 10). P's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
