# Hypelist vs gl.werse

The clearest difference is monetization model: gl.werse at free against Hypelist's free with in-app purchases. gl.werse also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 72%) and device support (3 vs 1). Hypelist's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (437 vs 52). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hypelist sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and gl.werse sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hypelist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hypelist has 437 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hypelist's written reviews are positive against 94% of gl.werse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hypelist ships an update weekly, gl.werse fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
