Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: H2D DAB at 1.8 against Tempus DC's 1.0. H2D DAB also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). Tempus DC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
