# Quimbee vs HAWKi

The clearest difference is rating: Quimbee at 4.8 against HAWKi's 4.1. Quimbee also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 37) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). HAWKi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quimbee sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. HAWKi asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quimbee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quimbee has 2.5K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Quimbee's written reviews are positive against 69% of HAWKi's.

Quimbee ships an update fortnightly, HAWKi every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
