Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SciTrader at none against HeatMap's 3. SciTrader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). HeatMap's advantage is ratings volume (225 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
