# ARTGAPI vs Hypelist

The clearest difference is ads: ARTGAPI at none against Hypelist's shown. ARTGAPI also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Hypelist's advantage is ratings volume (431 vs 8) and review sentiment (72% vs 53%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARTGAPI sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Hypelist sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 — 4.6 for ARTGAPI against 4.7 for Hypelist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hypelist has 431 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of ARTGAPI's written reviews are positive against 72% of Hypelist's.

ARTGAPI ships an update fortnightly, Hypelist weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
