ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HereLabel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenLabel has 195 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of HereLabel's written reviews are positive against 57% of OpenLabel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HereLabel ships an update monthly, OpenLabel every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
