Verdict

The call

BeFree and Hush both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Hush's written reviews are positive against 43% of BeFree's. Hush also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). BeFree's advantage is ratings volume (392 vs 77) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
