Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Heimgard Connect at none against ElSaving's 1. Heimgard Connect also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). ElSaving's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
