Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Hackney at free against WildFares's free with in-app purchases. Hackney also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (134 vs 4). WildFares's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

WildFares holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hackney has 134 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Hackney's written reviews are positive against 100% of WildFares's.
Hackney ships an update every 5 days, WildFares every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
