Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Joust VB at none against HyperScore's 3. Joust VB also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18). HyperScore's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
