Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Halo at 4.8 against Capsule's 4.0. Halo also leads on ratings volume (112 vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Capsule's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 58%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Halo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Capsule sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Halo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Halo has 112 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Halo's written reviews are positive against 90% of Capsule's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Halo ships an update weekly, Capsule every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
