Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Human API at 3.3 against HealthyNow's 1.3. Human API also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (10% vs 1%). HealthyNow's advantage is ratings volume (139 vs 45) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
