Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Earner at none against Hourwallet's shown. Earner also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Hourwallet's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
