Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Houvy at 100% against Rentler's 37%. Houvy also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Rentler's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Houvy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rentler has 3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of Rentler's written reviews are positive against 100% of Houvy's.
