# PURE vs Hush

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hush at free with in-app purchases against PURE's subscription. PURE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (85K vs 1.5K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PURE sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Hush sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PURE holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PURE has 85K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of PURE's written reviews are positive against 8% of Hush's.

PURE ships an update every 11 days, Hush weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
