Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReceptionHQ at none against Divert Calls's 1. ReceptionHQ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.3 vs 3.8). Divert Calls's advantage is ratings volume (85 vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Divert Calls sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ReceptionHQ asks for nothing beyond the download.
ReceptionHQ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Divert Calls has 85 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ReceptionHQ's written reviews are positive against 51% of Divert Calls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ReceptionHQ ships an update every 8 months, Divert Calls every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
