# Neat vs Hackfy

The clearest difference is monetization model: Neat at free with in-app purchases against Hackfy's subscription. Neat also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). Hackfy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neat sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Hackfy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Neat against 5.0 for Hackfy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neat has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Neat ships an update every 2 weeks, Hackfy every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
