Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Edge magazine at free with in-app purchases against Hi's subscription. Edge magazine also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Hi's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 46%). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
