Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HC at every 2 months against Lemon23's every 14 months. HC also leads on review sentiment (13% vs 0%). Lemon23's advantage is rating (1.6 vs 1.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lemon23 holds the better App Store score, 1.6 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of HC's written reviews are positive against 0% of Lemon23's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HC ships an update every 2 months, Lemon23 every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
