Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hei at 100% against HeimLink's 6%. Hei also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.9) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.5). HeimLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (400 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
