Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Frost Buddy at 73% against Hydro Flask's 0%. Frost Buddy also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 19). Hydro Flask's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
