The clearest difference is ads: Towngas Metering at none against My HKBN's shown. Towngas Metering also leads on review sentiment (24% vs 8%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). My HKBN's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
