Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Home@Halls at none against Three's shown. Home@Halls also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Three's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 21). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
