# CyberHive vs After Inc.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CyberHive at none against After Inc.'s 10. CyberHive also leads on price ($0.49 vs $1.99). After Inc.'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 3). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

CyberHive costs $0.49 and After Inc. $1.99 up front. After Inc. sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. CyberHive asks for nothing beyond the download.

CyberHive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: After Inc. has 17K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of CyberHive's written reviews are positive against 89% of After Inc.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CyberHive ships an update every 4 months, After Inc. weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
