Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hornady Ballistics at none against Google Chrome's shown. Hornady Ballistics also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is ratings volume (3.9M vs 43K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hornady Ballistics sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.8 for Hornady Ballistics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 43K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 39% of Hornady Ballistics's.
Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Hornady Ballistics every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
