Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shokz at 4.8 against HAKII's 1.0. Shokz also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (26K vs 1). HAKII's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
