Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hydro Calcs at none against Pushover Notifications's 3. Hydro Calcs also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). Pushover Notifications's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
