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.
Helpful Heroes Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TC Mobile has 48 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TC Mobile's written reviews are positive against 35% of Helpful Heroes Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TC Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, Helpful Heroes Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
