Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rig Mechanic at 3.7 against HomeSource's 2.5. Rig Mechanic also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and ratings volume (21 vs 2). HomeSource's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
