# Mesh vs HOOPT

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HOOPT at 100% against Mesh's 28%. HOOPT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Mesh's advantage is ratings volume (762 vs 42) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mesh sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and HOOPT sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HOOPT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mesh has 762 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Mesh's written reviews are positive against 100% of HOOPT's.

Mesh ships an update every 2 weeks, HOOPT every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
