# Hover vs Viipulse

The clearest difference is rating: Viipulse at 4.1 against Hover's 2.9. Viipulse also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (734 vs 101). Hover's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hover sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Viipulse asks for nothing beyond the download.

Viipulse holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viipulse has 734 ratings behind it against 101, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Hover's written reviews are positive against 28% of Viipulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hover ships an update every 2 weeks, Viipulse every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
