Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hei at 100% against Energizer Connect's 36%. Hei also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.2). Energizer Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (9.6K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
