# Hyper vs NORTH

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NORTH at 100% against Hyper's 43%. NORTH also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2). Hyper's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyper sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and NORTH sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NORTH holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyper has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Hyper's written reviews are positive against 100% of NORTH's.

Hyper ships an update daily, NORTH every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
