# Capture Pilot vs Hypno Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Hypno Pro at 4.4 against Capture Pilot's 2.5. Hypno Pro also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 31%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Capture Pilot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (96 vs 17). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Capture Pilot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hypno Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hypno Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capture Pilot has 96 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Capture Pilot's written reviews are positive against 70% of Hypno Pro's.

Capture Pilot ships an update every 4 months, Hypno Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
