Verdict
iRobot and Hiboy S2 both sit at 3.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of iRobot's written reviews are positive against 32% of Hiboy S2's. iRobot also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). Hiboy S2's advantage is ratings volume (205 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
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.
Hiboy S2 holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hiboy S2 has 205 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iRobot's written reviews are positive against 32% of Hiboy S2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
