Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HiSQL at 100% against Python3IDE's 33%. HiSQL also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Python3IDE's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
