Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hello at 3.7 against TMU Tutorials's 3.0. Hello also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (50% vs 20%). TMU Tutorials's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
