Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Mei at free with in-app purchases against Hemi's subscription. Mei also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Hemi's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 10) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, 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. Hemi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Mei sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hemi holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hemi has 2.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Hemi's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mei's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hemi ships an update every 2 weeks, Mei every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
