Verdict
The Source and Humble Root both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of The Source's written reviews are positive against 70% of Humble Root's. Humble Root's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (396 vs 16). On price, rating, 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.
Humble Root holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Humble Root has 396 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Source's written reviews are positive against 70% of Humble Root's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Source ships an update every 6 months, Humble Root every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
