Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Herts Mobile at 80% against Goin''s 38%. Goin''s advantage is rating (4.4 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Goin' holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goin' has 67 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Herts Mobile's written reviews are positive against 38% of Goin''s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Herts Mobile ships an update every 5 months, Goin' every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
