Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Folo at 4.1 against Hi WAIC's 2.0. Folo also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 10%) and ratings volume (58 vs 13). Hi WAIC's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
