# LabyMod vs HypeCraft

LabyMod and HypeCraft both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 58% of LabyMod's written reviews are positive against 15% of HypeCraft's. LabyMod also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). HypeCraft's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 34). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LabyMod sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and HypeCraft sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for LabyMod against 4.5 for HypeCraft. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HypeCraft has 6.3K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of LabyMod's written reviews are positive against 15% of HypeCraft's.

LabyMod ships an update every 9 days, HypeCraft fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
