Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LARQ at 4.3 against HYGEAR's 3.0. LARQ also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 13%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). HYGEAR's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
