Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HCAA at 100% against IFEBP's 20%. HCAA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.6). IFEBP's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
