Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HyperCatcher at 4.1 against Indie World's 3.0. HyperCatcher also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (24 vs 2). Indie World's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
