Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HearFind at 3.7 against hearing device's 2.6. HearFind also leads on ratings volume (196 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). hearing device's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 32 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HearFind sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. hearing device asks for nothing beyond the download.
HearFind holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HearFind has 196 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of HearFind's written reviews are positive against 33% of hearing device's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HearFind ships an update every 32 months, hearing device every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
