Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HODLTicker at none against Cryptomaniac's shown. HODLTicker also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Cryptomaniac's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
