Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MobileHMI at 4.0 against FortiClient's 2.9. MobileHMI also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). FortiClient's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
