Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hyrule Companion at none against PetValid's 2. Hyrule Companion also leads on ratings volume (515 vs 1). PetValid's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
