Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyAniList at 69% against HIDIVE's 13%. MyAniList also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). HIDIVE's advantage is chart position (#48 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
