# G vs Hi

The clearest difference is review sentiment: G at 30% against Hi's 0%. G also leads on ratings volume (242 vs 4). Hi's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Hi holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: G has 242 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of G's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
