Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JoySauceTV at none against Hi's 1. Hi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 50%). On price, rating, update cadence and device support 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. Hi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. JoySauceTV asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hi against 4.5 for JoySauceTV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hi has 329 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Hi's written reviews are positive against 50% of JoySauceTV's.
Hi ships an update every 3 months, JoySauceTV every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
