Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Aywa! at free with in-app purchases against Hi's subscription. Aywa! also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Hi's advantage is ratings volume (329 vs 25). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Aywa! sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and Hi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Aywa! holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hi has 329 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Aywa!'s written reviews are positive against 80% of Hi's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
