Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heart's Choice at 86% against Spirited Heart's 18%. Heart's Choice also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months). Spirited Heart's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
