Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Janitor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Hangjam sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Janitor against 4.4 for Hangjam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Janitor has 6K ratings behind it against 886, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Janitor's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hangjam's.
Janitor ships an update every 2 weeks, Hangjam every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
