Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hydrawise at 4.7 against Food Technology's 1.2. Hydrawise also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and ratings volume (67K vs 10). Food Technology's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
