Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
