Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hyper at 100% against PTS Dialer's 63%. Hyper also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). PTS Dialer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). On price, update cadence, 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.
PTS Dialer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PTS Dialer has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Hyper's written reviews are positive against 63% of PTS Dialer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
