Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hearview at 60% against LEION's 0%. Hearview also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 3).

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. Hearview sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per month. LEION asks for nothing beyond the download.
LEION holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearview has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of LEION's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hearview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LEION ships an update every 2 months, Hearview every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
