Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Hearts Plus costs $2.99 and Hearts + $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hearts Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearts Plus has 412 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Hearts Plus's written reviews are positive against 65% of Hearts +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
