Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hear the Power at 4.5 against Engine Sounds's 3.5. Hear the Power also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Engine Sounds's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
