# Antivirus vs Hack.Hub

The clearest difference is rating: Hack.Hub at 4.4 against Antivirus's 3.7. Hack.Hub also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Antivirus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hack.Hub sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hack.Hub holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hack.Hub has 131 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Antivirus's written reviews are positive against 59% of Hack.Hub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Antivirus ships an update every 2 months, Hack.Hub weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
