Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HDMI at 52% against Drong Cast's 8%. HDMI also leads on rating (2.9 vs 1.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Drong Cast's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 74) and iOS requirement (12 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
