Face ID can lock the app, and encrypted personal sync lets you use your workspace across devices without placing readable vault contents on Hooterm servers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Markdown Editor and Reader at none against Hooterm's 2. Markdown Editor and Reader also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Hooterm's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
