Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BLACKBIRD at 90% against Hg's 47%. BLACKBIRD also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Hg's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
