Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Little Monsters at 4.4 against HiBeats's 3.7. Little Monsters also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (97 vs 9). HiBeats's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support 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. HiBeats sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Little Monsters asks for nothing beyond the download.
Little Monsters holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Little Monsters has 97 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Little Monsters's written reviews are positive against 69% of HiBeats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Little Monsters ships an update monthly, HiBeats every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
