Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hilo at 4.5 against LEO's 3.6. Hilo also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). LEO's advantage is ratings volume (67 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
