Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: G at 100% against HomeWAV's 8%. G also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). HomeWAV's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and chart position (#152 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
