Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JustCall at 4.4 against CallHippo's 1.8. JustCall also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 52) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). CallHippo's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JustCall holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JustCall has 1.1K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of JustCall's written reviews are positive against 28% of CallHippo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JustCall ships an update weekly, CallHippo every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
