# MyNice vs Hik

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hik at 67% against MyNice's 11%. Hik also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). MyNice's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hik sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. MyNice asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hik holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hik has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of MyNice's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hik's.

MyNice ships an update every 2 months, Hik fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
