Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Harley at 4.8 against Serial 1's 4.0. Harley also leads on ratings volume (39K vs 4) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Serial 1's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 34%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Harley holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Harley has 39K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Harley's written reviews are positive against 75% of Serial 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Harley ships an update every 11 days, Serial 1 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
