Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Open Hearing PRO at none against Spy Hearing's 2. Open Hearing PRO also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Spy Hearing's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
