Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Hyper at Free against Vivid Studio's $4.99. Hyper also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (11K vs 24). Vivid Studio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 25) and review sentiment (68% vs 40%). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hyper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyper has 11K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Vivid Studio's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hyper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vivid Studio ships an update every 3 weeks, Hyper every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
