# Alias vs Hat Up

The clearest difference is rating: Hat Up at 4.7 against Alias's 3.0. Hat Up also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 43%). Alias's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alias sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hat Up sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
