# Hydra vs Infinity for Reddit

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.

Both are free to download. Hydra sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Infinity for Reddit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

Hydra ships an update every 3 weeks, Infinity for Reddit weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
