Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FishTagger at none against Hook IQ's 2. FishTagger also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Hook IQ's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
