Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jabra Sound+ at 66% against HP's 36%. HP's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (4.3M vs 12K). 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.
HP holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HP has 4.3M ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of HP's written reviews are positive against 66% of Jabra Sound+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
