Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HoorayFor at every 2 days against Battle.net's every 4 weeks. HoorayFor also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Battle.net's advantage is chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
