Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hard Jewelry at none against Thryfty's shown. Hard Jewelry also leads on ratings volume (6.8K vs 469). Thryfty's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
