Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hover at 3.2 against SmooSat Ride's 2.5. Hover also leads on ratings volume (59 vs 8). SmooSat Ride's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hover holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hover has 59 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Hover's written reviews are positive against 20% of SmooSat Ride's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hover ships an update every 11 months, SmooSat Ride every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 20, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
