Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HeWo Store at none against Pelican+'s 4. HeWo Store also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Pelican+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (32 vs 6). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
