Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BetterTrack at 100% against Hour's 48%. BetterTrack also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0). Hour's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

BetterTrack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0.
