Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Vera at 4.8 against HMA App's 1.5. My Vera also leads on ratings volume (785 vs 12) and review sentiment (38% vs 17%). HMA App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
