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. Smarter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Hopp Driver asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hopp Driver holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hopp Driver has 97 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Hopp Driver's written reviews are positive against 57% of Smarter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
