# Hypergram vs Syn

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Syn at 83% against Hypergram's 25%. Syn also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (48 vs 4). Hypergram's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hypergram sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Syn sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Syn holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Syn has 48 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Hypergram's written reviews are positive against 83% of Syn's.

Hypergram ships an update weekly, Syn every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
