# HDR vs Love Cards +

The clearest difference is price: Love Cards + at Free against HDR's $1.99. Love Cards + also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 10). HDR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Love Cards + is free to download; HDR costs $1.99 up front. Love Cards + sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. HDR asks for nothing beyond the download.

Love Cards + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Love Cards + has 4.7K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of HDR's written reviews are positive against 93% of Love Cards +'s.

HDR ships an update every 4 months, Love Cards + every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
