Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Habit Hub at 4.7 against Simple Routine's 3.2. Habit Hub also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 44%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Simple Routine's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
