# Sixfast vs HiCN

The clearest difference is rating: HiCN at 4.8 against Sixfast's 4.4. HiCN also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Sixfast's advantage is ratings volume (223 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sixfast sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and HiCN sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HiCN holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sixfast has 223 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Sixfast's written reviews are positive against 100% of HiCN's.

Sixfast ships an update every 3 weeks, HiCN every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
