The clearest difference is review sentiment: Home Energy Saver at 100% against Sidekick Tools's 49%. Home Energy Saver also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). Sidekick Tools's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sidekick Tools sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Home Energy Saver asks for nothing beyond the download.
