Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Help Scout at 4.2 against Honeybadger Mobile's 3.6. Help Scout also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (306 vs 5). Honeybadger Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Help Scout holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Help Scout has 306 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Help Scout's written reviews are positive against 40% of Honeybadger Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Help Scout ships an update fortnightly, Honeybadger Mobile every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
