Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hubble Connect at none against Expo Go's shown. Hubble Connect also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Expo Go's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 8) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
