Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hearts at Free against Arbatash's $1.99. Hearts also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Arbatash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
