Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hariat at none against Google Home's shown. Hariat also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). Google Home's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
