Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Home at 5.0 against PetuNew's 2.0. Home also leads on review sentiment (23% vs 14%). PetuNew's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (91 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
