Verdict

The call

Hushed and Adderpad both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Adderpad's written reviews are positive against 41% of Hushed's. Adderpad also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Hushed's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 30). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
