Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HuskyHowl at 5.0 against XCStats Mobile's 2.7. HuskyHowl also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). XCStats Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
