Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Devos at 4.7 against Hcalory's 4.2. Devos also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 67%) and ratings volume (65 vs 10). Hcalory's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
