Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hearts ◆ at Free against Hearts Plus's $2.99. Hearts ◆ also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 412) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Hearts Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
