Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HitTrAp at 5.0 against Spectrum Access's 4.5. HitTrAp also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Spectrum Access's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (152 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
