Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Eco at Free against HAM's $14.99. Eco also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.6). HAM's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
