Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hungry Vivu at none against Stepets's shown. Hungry Vivu also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Stepets's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (262 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
