# Quibbly vs Hydra

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quibbly at none against Hydra's 5. Quibbly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Hydra's advantage is ratings volume (824 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hydra sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Quibbly asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quibbly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hydra has 824 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 75% and 75% positive.

Quibbly ships an update every 2 months, Hydra every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
