Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HFun Fly at 3.4 against X's 3.0. HFun Fly also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). X's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 18%) and ratings volume (45 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HFun Fly holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 45 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of X's written reviews are positive against 18% of HFun Fly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
X ships an update every 6 weeks, HFun Fly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
