Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HXBDVR at none against APTV's 1. HXBDVR also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). APTV's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
