Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Express at 4.6 against Pack 17's 3.7. Hidden Express also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (69% vs 50%). Pack 17's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
