Verdict
The clearest difference is price: i at Free against HueOn's $1.99. i also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). HueOn's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 1.8) and review sentiment (25% vs 7%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
