Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Instrument Identification at 2.0 against Honorlock's 1.1. Instrument Identification also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Honorlock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (402 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Instrument Identification holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Honorlock has 402 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Instrument Identification's written reviews are positive against 2% of Honorlock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
