Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hook Jam at 4.5 against Hitori's 3.8. Hook Jam also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 44). Hitori's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Hook Jam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hook Jam has 1.6K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 27% and 27% positive.
Hitori ships an update monthly, Hook Jam weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
