Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SH at 100% against CE HVAC Pro+'s 62%. SH also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). CE HVAC Pro+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
