# Munchee vs Hexys

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hexys at freemium against Munchee's subscription. Hexys also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Munchee's advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 27). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Munchee sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Hexys sells 2 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 — 4.6 for Munchee against 4.6 for Hexys. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Munchee has 145 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two.
