Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hangjam at 4.4 against Twist's 2.7. Hangjam also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Twist's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Twist sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Hangjam sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
