Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hypervolt at 5.0 against Lynx Taxis's 4.5. Hypervolt also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Lynx Taxis's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Hypervolt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lynx Taxis has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Lynx Taxis's written reviews are positive against 75% of Hypervolt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lynx Taxis ships an update every 2 months, Hypervolt every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on August 5, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
