# Eclipse vs Hush

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eclipse at 67% against Hush's 8%. Eclipse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Hush's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 475). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eclipse sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Hush sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hush holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 475 and 1.5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Eclipse's written reviews are positive against 8% of Hush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Eclipse ships an update every 8 days, Hush weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
