Major differences are that (1) Homerow does not show search results in a command palette fashion. YMMV but I prefer the UI to be minimalist. (2) you can disable search and have it work almost exactly like Vimium.
I would also like to note that the Shortcat dev plans on adding licensing. Homerow has licensing, but there's no blocks on features. So they are both "free" in the same way.
