# Radiate vs HeadQuarters Plus

Radiate and HeadQuarters Plus both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HeadQuarters Plus's written reviews are positive against 64% of Radiate's. Radiate's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 2) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radiate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and HeadQuarters Plus sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Radiate against 5.0 for HeadQuarters Plus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radiate has 31K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Radiate's written reviews are positive against 100% of HeadQuarters Plus's.

Radiate ships an update every 10 days, HeadQuarters Plus weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
