Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HOWCC at none against My 1st Year's 3. HOWCC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). My 1st Year's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 22 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
