Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: HugTime at none against Visutate's shown. HugTime also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Visutate's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
