Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Suica＆PASMOリーダー at 5.0 against Hearlo's 4.4. Suica＆PASMOリーダー also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Hearlo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support 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. Suica＆PASMOリーダー sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Hearlo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Suica＆PASMOリーダー holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearlo has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Hearlo's written reviews are positive against 40% of Suica＆PASMOリーダー's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hearlo ships an update every 3 weeks, Suica＆PASMOリーダー monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
