Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hiya at 4.5 against VerifyHim's 3.2. Hiya also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). VerifyHim's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hiya sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and VerifyHim sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hiya holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hiya has 238K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Hiya's written reviews are positive against 42% of VerifyHim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hiya ships an update weekly, VerifyHim every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
