Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Hindsight at weekly against iCollect+'s every 2 months. Hindsight also leads on ratings volume (395 vs 1). iCollect+'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hindsight sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and iCollect+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
iCollect+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hindsight has 395 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Hindsight ships an update weekly, iCollect+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
