Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: E at 5.0 against Hunter NODE's 3.1. E also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 23%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Hunter NODE's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (59 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
