Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kickstarter at none against Hapmory's 5. Kickstarter also leads on chart position (#198 vs unranked). Hapmory's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
