Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TOMODORI Crew at none against Hover's 3. TOMODORI Crew also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Hover's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
