Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: HeartVision at free with in-app purchases against Pocket Heart's subscription. HeartVision also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Pocket Heart's advantage is ratings volume (493 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Heart sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and HeartVision sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HeartVision holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Heart has 493 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Pocket Heart's written reviews are positive against 100% of HeartVision's.
Pocket Heart ships an update every 11 months, HeartVision every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
