# Nowa vs Hackerman

The clearest difference is rating: Hackerman at 3.7 against Nowa's 3.0. Hackerman also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 25%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Nowa's advantage is ratings volume (320 vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 27 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nowa sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Hackerman sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hackerman holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nowa has 320 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Nowa's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hackerman's.

Nowa ships an update every 6 months, Hackerman every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
