The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tidy at 4.7 against Hippo's 3.0. Tidy also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Hippo's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 49%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tidy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tidy has 1.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Hippo's written reviews are positive against 49% of Tidy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hippo ships an update monthly, Tidy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
