# Rainbow vs hashcloud

The clearest difference is rating: hashcloud at 4.5 against Rainbow's 3.6. hashcloud also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (41% vs 20%). Rainbow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rainbow sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and hashcloud sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

hashcloud holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: hashcloud has 185 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Rainbow's written reviews are positive against 41% of hashcloud's.

Rainbow ships an update every 2 months, hashcloud every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
