Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Q10 at Free against Hexoggle's $0.99. Q10 also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 5). Hexoggle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Q10 is free to download; Hexoggle costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hexoggle against 4.6 for Q10.
