# Hex FRVR vs 13

Hex FRVR and 13 both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of Hex FRVR's written reviews are positive against 17% of 13's. Hex FRVR also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 54). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hex FRVR sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 13 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
