Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCollect+ at 5.0 against Hindsight's 4.6. iCollect+ also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Hindsight's advantage is ratings volume (396 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. 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 396 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Hindsight ships an update weekly, iCollect+ every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
