# Hexapolis vs BTFields

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BTFields at 79% against Hexapolis's 34%. BTFields also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 42). Hexapolis's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2K vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hexapolis sells 41 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. BTFields asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hexapolis holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexapolis has 2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Hexapolis's written reviews are positive against 79% of BTFields's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hexapolis ships an update every 3 weeks, BTFields every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
