Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
hocus. costs $1.99 and supertype $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
supertype holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: supertype has 5.2K ratings behind it against 234, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of hocus.'s written reviews are positive against 74% of supertype's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
hocus. ships an update every 5 weeks, supertype every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
