Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rummy at Free against Hearts +'s $9.99. Rummy also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). Hearts +'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
