Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HearingAble holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of HearingAble's written reviews are positive against 100% of EarUnion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HearingAble ships an update every 3 months, EarUnion every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
