Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: The Emmys at Free against Hat Booth's $1.99. The Emmys also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 38%). Hat Booth's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 28). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hat Booth holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hat Booth has 1.1K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Hat Booth's written reviews are positive against 64% of The Emmys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hat Booth ships an update every 4 months, The Emmys every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
