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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Con Edison holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Con Edison has 123K ratings behind it against 14K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Con Edison's written reviews are positive against 71% of Hercules CP Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Con Edison ships an update every 6 weeks, Hercules CP Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
