Verdict

The call

Pocket Love! and Heartopia both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Pocket Love!'s written reviews are positive against 56% of Heartopia's. Pocket Love! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (249K vs 36K). Heartopia's advantage is chart position (#11 vs #61) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
