Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HIBIR at 3.7 against CBEBirr Plus's 3.2. CBEBirr Plus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months) and review sentiment (14% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HIBIR holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CBEBirr Plus has 136 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of CBEBirr Plus's written reviews are positive against 0% of HIBIR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CBEBirr Plus ships an update every 2 months, HIBIR every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
