# OPTIMAL vs HeatScore App

OPTIMAL and HeatScore App both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HeatScore App's written reviews are positive against 64% of OPTIMAL's. HeatScore App also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). OPTIMAL's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 13) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OPTIMAL sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and HeatScore App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HeatScore App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OPTIMAL has 8.4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of OPTIMAL's written reviews are positive against 100% of HeatScore App's.

OPTIMAL ships an update every 9 days, HeatScore App every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
