Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flarepad at 5.0 against HabitNu's 4.1. Flarepad also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HabitNu's advantage is ratings volume (143 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
