Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hollywood Connection at none against Dear Minds's 1. Hollywood Connection also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Dear Minds's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
