ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FireHydrant holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Titan HST has 59 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Titan HST's written reviews are positive against 33% of FireHydrant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Titan HST ships an update every 6 weeks, FireHydrant every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
