Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Friendly Memories at 5.0 against HDMI's 2.9. Friendly Memories also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). HDMI's advantage is ratings volume (75 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
