Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hardcopy at Free against Akinator VIP's $3.99. Hardcopy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Akinator VIP's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 1) and chart position (#37 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
