Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hik at 67% against MyPatterns's 0%. Hik also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). MyPatterns's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
