# Falling Fruit vs HOGSCAN

The clearest difference is rating: HOGSCAN at 3.1 against Falling Fruit's 2.4. HOGSCAN also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months). Falling Fruit's advantage is ratings volume (114 vs 19) and chart position (#18 vs #114). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Falling Fruit costs $0.99 and HOGSCAN $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

HOGSCAN holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Falling Fruit has 114 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Falling Fruit's written reviews are positive against 25% of HOGSCAN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Falling Fruit ships an update every 11 months, HOGSCAN every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
