Hodor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 50%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Developer Utilities holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Developer Utilities's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hodor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
