Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YY HD at 4.5 against 虎牙直播HD's 2.1. YY HD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). 虎牙直播HD's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 13%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YY HD sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and 虎牙直播HD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

YY HD holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26 and 53 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of YY HD's written reviews are positive against 29% of 虎牙直播HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
