Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: System Activity Monitors at none against Hardwares's shown. System Activity Monitors also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Hardwares's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
