Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HIFI holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HIFI's written reviews are positive against 48% of Royalties LLC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
