Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ChillNet at 5.0 against HamSphere 5.0's 3.9. ChillNet also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 30) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). HamSphere 5.0's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
