Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: HUB24 at free against Expand's free with in-app purchases. HUB24 also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Expand's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
