Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LocoBike at 43% against HKeMeter's 0%. LocoBike also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). HKeMeter's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
