Verdict

The call

Coupled and HMU both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 56% of Coupled's written reviews are positive against 27% of HMU's. Coupled also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). HMU's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 40). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
