Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: H at 4.8 against PerkSpot's 3.0. H also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 109) and review sentiment (59% vs 37%). PerkSpot's advantage is chart position (#209 vs unranked) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
