Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HQS at 4.1 against Inspection Mobile's 2.9. HQS also leads on ratings volume (81 vs 8). Inspection Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
HQS holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HQS has 81 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Inspection Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of HQS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Inspection Mobile ships an update fortnightly, HQS every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
