Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Uplift! at none against Hoop's shown. Uplift! also leads on ratings volume (657 vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Hoop's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
