# H vs Market Lab

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: H at none against Market Lab's 1. H also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Market Lab's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Market Lab sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. H asks for nothing beyond the download.

Market Lab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: H has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

H ships an update every 2 months, Market Lab every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
