Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hearts+ at 4.8 against Hearts's 4.0. Hearts+ also leads on ratings volume (96K vs 90) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Hearts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hearts+ sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Hearts asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hearts+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearts+ has 96K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Hearts+'s written reviews are positive against 51% of Hearts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hearts+ ships an update monthly, Hearts every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
