# Hop vs SIide Up

The clearest difference is ads: SIide Up at none against Hop's shown. SIide Up also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Hop's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SIide Up sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SIide Up holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hop has 30K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Hop's written reviews are positive against 100% of SIide Up's.

Hop ships an update every 3 months, SIide Up every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
