Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ClearNode at none against NotiHive's shown. ClearNode also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). NotiHive's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
