# HLTV vs ParaScore

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ParaScore at 100% against HLTV's 38%. ParaScore also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). HLTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 21). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ParaScore sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. HLTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

ParaScore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HLTV has 1.2K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of HLTV's written reviews are positive against 100% of ParaScore's.

HLTV ships an update every 10 days, ParaScore every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
