Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HotS Helper at 90% against Battle.net's 24%. HotS Helper also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Battle.net's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price 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. HotS Helper sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Battle.net asks for nothing beyond the download.
Battle.net holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Battle.net has 36K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of HotS Helper's written reviews are positive against 24% of Battle.net's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HotS Helper ships an update every 4 months, Battle.net every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
