Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: pOpshelf at 4.8 against Hobby Lobby's 3.2. pOpshelf also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 11%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). Hobby Lobby's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
