The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hydra at 4.8 against Infinity for Reddit's 4.1. Hydra also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (736 vs 13). Infinity for Reddit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (86% vs 74%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hydra holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hydra has 736 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Hydra's written reviews are positive against 86% of Infinity for Reddit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hydra ships an update every 3 weeks, Infinity for Reddit weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
