Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: heypster at none against Misty Faces's 1. heypster also leads on device support (5 vs 2). Misty Faces's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
