Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HDMI at 2.9 against Fstcast's 1.0. HDMI also leads on ratings volume (75 vs 1). Fstcast's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
