Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PathSums at none against I Love Hue's 4. PathSums also leads on ads (none vs shown). I Love Hue's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 181 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
