Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Senva Sync at 5.0 against HOBOconnect's 2.2. Senva Sync also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). HOBOconnect's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
