Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hooroo at 5.0 against UTM SE's 3.8. Hooroo also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). UTM SE's advantage is ratings volume (565 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
