Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Patterner at 5.0 against Hinakko's 4.4. Patterner also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Hinakko's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
