# Higher 하이어 vs Mnet Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Mnet Plus at 2.2 against Higher 하이어's 1.7. Mnet Plus also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 124). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Higher 하이어 sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and Mnet Plus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mnet Plus holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mnet Plus has 1.5K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Higher 하이어's written reviews are positive against 19% of Mnet Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Higher 하이어 ships an update every 6 days, Mnet Plus every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
