Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hits 96 at 5.0 against B97.5's 4.6. B97.5's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hits 96 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: B97.5 has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Hits 96's written reviews are positive against 80% of B97.5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hits 96 ships an update every 6 months, B97.5 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
