Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HOP Shops Stores at 4.8 against Better Blend's 3.9. Better Blend's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HOP Shops Stores holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Better Blend's written reviews are positive against 50% of HOP Shops Stores's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Better Blend ships an update every 6 weeks, HOP Shops Stores every 9 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
