Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: H at 4.8 against iwantChips's 4.0. H also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 12) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). iwantChips's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

H holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: H has 23K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of H's written reviews are positive against 100% of iwantChips's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

H ships an update monthly, iwantChips every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
