Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HandIQ at 100% against IITC's 29%. HandIQ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). IITC's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.2). 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. IITC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and HandIQ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HandIQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IITC has 70 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of IITC's written reviews are positive against 100% of HandIQ's.
IITC ships an update every 3 months, HandIQ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
