Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: fofo at 86% against Hush's 23%. fofo also leads on rating (3.4 vs 2.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Hush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 22 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
