# HyFlow vs Across

The clearest difference is ads: HyFlow at none against Across's shown. HyFlow also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Across's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 60%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HyFlow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Across sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Across holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Across has 505 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of HyFlow's written reviews are positive against 86% of Across's.

HyFlow ships an update every 5 days, Across weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
