Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hardcore at none against Palmyst's shown. Hardcore also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 1). Palmyst's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
