Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: H&C+ at 4.4 against CHIO Aachen's 3.0. H&C+ also leads on ratings volume (109 vs 1). CHIO Aachen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 24) and review sentiment (38% vs 8%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
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. H&C+ sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. CHIO Aachen asks for nothing beyond the download.
H&C+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: H&C+ has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of CHIO Aachen's written reviews are positive against 8% of H&C+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CHIO Aachen ships an update every 6 days, H&C+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
