ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hey! I Earned It holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxes has 953 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Boxes's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hey! I Earned It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Boxes ships an update every 3 weeks, Hey! I Earned It every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
