Hearth Companion App holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearth Companion App has 224 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Lil Tracker's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hearth Companion App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lil Tracker ships an update every 26 months, Hearth Companion App weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
