BrewHero
Read full descriptionHide full description
BrewHero is a homebrewing companion built around your actual brewing shelf. Add your malt, hops, yeast, and adjuncts, choose your brewing system, and BrewHero suggests recipe styles that fit your inventory. Instead of starting from a fixed recipe list, the app works backwards from what you already have and highlights what is missing to make a batch more complete. Start a brew day from any suggestion, follow system-aware steps, and update your inventory when the batch is finished. BrewHero also keeps a simple local history of completed brews.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Platō Coffee at none against BrewHero's 1. BrewHero's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
