Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zrowthify at none against Hardcore's 12. Zrowthify also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Hardcore's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
