Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyIH at 4.6 against HNAS Flex Mobile's 3.9. MyIH also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 53) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). HNAS Flex Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyIH holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyIH has 4.8K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of MyIH's written reviews are positive against 50% of HNAS Flex Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyIH ships an update every 3 weeks, HNAS Flex Mobile every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
