Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: thingz at 4.8 against HOA Start's 3.4. thingz also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (724 vs 5). HOA Start's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
