Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HandHaven at 100% against HP's 36%. HandHaven also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). HP's advantage is ratings volume (4.2M vs 1) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
