Verdict
The clearest difference is price: The Bug Book at Free against Hematox's $3.99. The Bug Book also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Hematox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
