The clearest difference is price: Hey Austin at Free against Auto Scroll | Web's $1.69. Hey Austin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). Auto Scroll | Web's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On device support there is nothing between them.
