Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Power Hover at none against MouseBot's shown. Power Hover also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). MouseBot's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 62%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MouseBot sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Power Hover sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Power Hover holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.2K and 2.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of MouseBot's written reviews are positive against 62% of Power Hover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MouseBot ships an update every 4 months, Power Hover every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
