Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hoverlay Browser at 73% against Pepco's 27%. Pepco's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 42) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pepco holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pepco has 20K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Pepco's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hoverlay Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pepco ships an update every 2 months, Hoverlay Browser every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
