# MyBell vs Hydro

MyBell and Hydro both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of Hydro's written reviews are positive against 18% of MyBell's. Hydro also leads on iOS requirement (16.7 vs 18.0). MyBell's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for MyBell against 4.6 for Hydro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyBell has 6.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 18% of MyBell's written reviews are positive against 65% of Hydro's.

MyBell ships an update weekly, Hydro every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
