# Midnight Pulp vs Hi

The clearest difference is monetization model: Midnight Pulp at free with in-app purchases against Hi's subscription. Midnight Pulp also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 324). Hi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 49%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Midnight Pulp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Hi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Midnight Pulp against 4.6 for Hi. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Midnight Pulp has 1.8K ratings behind it against 324, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Midnight Pulp's written reviews are positive against 80% of Hi's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
