Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Steel & Grace at none against Hot Elevation Studios's shown. Hot Elevation Studios's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
