# iCSee Pro vs Hi

The clearest difference is rating: Hi at 3.8 against iCSee Pro's 2.3. Hi also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). iCSee Pro's advantage is ratings volume (93 vs 4) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Hi holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCSee Pro has 93 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of iCSee Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
