Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HermesPilot at 88% against OpenCody's 33%. HermesPilot also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). OpenCody's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OpenCody sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and HermesPilot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OpenCody holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HermesPilot has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of OpenCody's written reviews are positive against 88% of HermesPilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OpenCody ships an update monthly, HermesPilot every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
