Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Azangoo at 21K against HandyNest's 1. Azangoo also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). HandyNest's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
