Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
V holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Hyper's written reviews are positive against 0% of V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hyper ships an update every 3 months, V every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and August 10, 2026 respectively.
