Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HiEasy at 54% against CAFINI's 0%. HiEasy also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). CAFINI'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.
