Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SSKCloud at fortnightly against HDHomeRun's every 2 months. SSKCloud also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). HDHomeRun's advantage is ratings volume (465 vs 24) and review sentiment (27% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
