Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
COMPASS NIL holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 37 and 21 respectively.

COMPASS NIL ships an update monthly, HRewards every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
