Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Regional Studies Association at 100% against HEPCon's 50%. HEPCon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
