Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: H&C+ at 4.4 against Global Champions's 1.0. H&C+ also leads on ratings volume (109 vs 1). Global Champions's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (18% vs 8%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. H&C+ sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Global Champions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

H&C+ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: H&C+ has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of H&C+'s written reviews are positive against 18% of Global Champions's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

H&C+ ships an update every 3 months, Global Champions every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
