Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HKeMobility at none against Sun Ferry's shown. HKeMobility also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
