Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HeatCheckr at 100% against StatMuse's 31%. HeatCheckr also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). StatMuse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (74 vs 5). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
