Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tally Ho! Score Keeper at none against Hearts+'s 9. Tally Ho! Score Keeper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Hearts+'s advantage is ratings volume (96K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
