Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FHA Guide at none against US HUD Homes's shown. FHA Guide also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). US HUD Homes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 33 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
