Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hilltoppers at 5.0 against Widget Maker's 4.3. Hilltoppers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Widget Maker's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
