Verdict
Strawberry and Thon Hotels both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 57% of Thon Hotels's written reviews are positive against 5% of Strawberry's. Strawberry's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (113 vs 22). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Strawberry holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strawberry has 113 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Strawberry's written reviews are positive against 57% of Thon Hotels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Strawberry ships an update weekly, Thon Hotels monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
