# HOY+ vs Expreso

The clearest difference is rating: HOY+ at 2.0 against Expreso's 1.0. HOY+ also leads on ads (none vs shown). Expreso's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HOY+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per month. Expreso asks for nothing beyond the download.

HOY+ holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HOY+'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Expreso's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

HOY+ ships an update every 2 months, Expreso every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
