Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Chhimek at 4.0 against HI's 1.6. Chhimek also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HI's advantage is ratings volume (89 vs 1) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
