Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SightHub at none against Peared's shown. SightHub also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Peared's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
