Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HyRhythm at none against iRox's 1. HyRhythm also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). iRox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
