Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Studio Center at none against Hollywood Connection's shown. Studio Center also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Hollywood Connection's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
