Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KRKO at 4.9 against HD's 4.3. KRKO also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 19 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). HD's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
