Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HelloApp at 64% against BlackVue's 9%. HelloApp also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). BlackVue's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 95) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlackVue sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. HelloApp asks for nothing beyond the download.
HelloApp holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlackVue has 2.7K ratings behind it against 95, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of BlackVue's written reviews are positive against 64% of HelloApp's.
BlackVue ships an update every 3 weeks, HelloApp fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
