Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HuntCA at 3.5 against PowerboatGuy Lite's 1.0. HuntCA also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). PowerboatGuy Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
