Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hi at 80% against Screambox's 17%. Hi also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). Screambox's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
