Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Vessel Studios at free against Heatwise Studio's free with in-app purchases. Heatwise Studio's advantage is ratings volume (693 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
