Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HOCR at none against Rowing Stroke Rate Stopwatch's 2. HOCR also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). Rowing Stroke Rate Stopwatch's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

HOCR holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Rowing Stroke Rate Stopwatch's written reviews are positive against 0% of HOCR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rowing Stroke Rate Stopwatch ships an update every 2 months, HOCR every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
