Verdict
Hexcodle and LetterSwap both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of LetterSwap's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hexcodle's. LetterSwap also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Hexcodle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

LetterSwap is free to download; Hexcodle costs $1.99 up front. LetterSwap sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Hexcodle asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hexcodle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LetterSwap has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Hexcodle's written reviews are positive against 100% of LetterSwap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hexcodle ships an update every 2 weeks, LetterSwap every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
