Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hydra at 50% against Studeo's 12%. Hydra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Studeo's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
