Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hornady Reloading Guide at 4.6 against FURY HD's 3.0. Hornady Reloading Guide also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 33). FURY HD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hornady Reloading Guide sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. FURY HD asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hornady Reloading Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hornady Reloading Guide has 17K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of FURY HD's written reviews are positive against 32% of Hornady Reloading Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FURY HD ships an update monthly, Hornady Reloading Guide every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
