Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phigros at none against Rhythm Hive's 29. Phigros also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 61%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Rhythm Hive's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 3K) and chart position (#10 vs #55). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rhythm Hive sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Phigros asks for nothing beyond the download.
Phigros holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5.

Phigros ships an update every 3 weeks, Rhythm Hive every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
