Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HomeHawk at 4.4 against Hugolog's 2.0. HomeHawk also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 12). Hugolog's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 23%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HomeHawk holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeHawk has 2.3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of HomeHawk's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hugolog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HomeHawk ships an update every 3 months, Hugolog every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
