# HTTP Catcher vs Hodor

The clearest difference is rating: Hodor at 4.3 against HTTP Catcher's 3.1. Hodor also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 61%). HTTP Catcher's advantage is chart position (#175 vs unranked) and ratings volume (136 vs 23). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTTP Catcher sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Hodor sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hodor holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTTP Catcher has 136 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of HTTP Catcher's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hodor's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
