Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hygrometer at 4.7 against Humidity's 3.8. Hygrometer also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 67 months) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 203). Humidity's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
