Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hivvy at none against TheFlap's shown. Hivvy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). TheFlap's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (242 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
