Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CoHub at 5.0 against BUSY's 4.0. CoHub also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). BUSY's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
