Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Helmarr at 4.9 against OpenCloud's 4.3. Helmarr also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (172 vs 22). OpenCloud's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and iOS requirement (15.4 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support 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. Helmarr sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. OpenCloud asks for nothing beyond the download.
Helmarr holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helmarr has 172 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Helmarr's written reviews are positive against 83% of OpenCloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Helmarr ships an update weekly, OpenCloud every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
