Is Hike messenger better than Whatsapp?

Hike messenger is an awesome hike privacy feature which allows you to hide all the chats that you want to keep private from the world. But Hike VS Whatsapp, which is more better?

• Email Alternative: Hike supports media formats as well as documents including .ppt , .doc, docx and pdf file formats, therefore it is a good email alternative as email can tolerate an attachment which is a maximum of 25 MB of file size while hike can tolerate upto 100 MB of each attached file.
• File Size: Hike has updated its system and now it allows its users to send files of upto 100 MB each,while the maximum file size of media supported by whatsapp is just 16 MB each. However if the file is larger than 16 MB, whatsapp provides the option of trimming the video to make it possible but it degrades the media quality.
• Free SMS: Unlike other instant messengers, Hike users are privileged to get 100 sms per month for free for their non-hike friends. No need to have sms packs on your mobile if you are already having a mobile data plan and Hike on your device. Hike users also get 50 sms as bonus for each successful invitataion along with Rs. 20. However, Hike-to-sms can only be sent within India.
• Stickers: You can make your chat more colorful and fun by sending exciting and occasional stickers along with the smilies to your friends.The another good thing is sticker sets get updated regularly in a month or two.
• 2-Way Chat Themes: Hike supports creating chat environment according to your mood and emotion.Hike users can change the chat theme of a particular friend and the theme will be visible on both sides.
• Lifetime Free: Hike is an advertisement free and life time free app while subscription for whatsapp is free only for the first year and from the next year it costs about $0.99/year.
• Hidden Mode : This is a new feature introduced by Hike team. This makes you to make any of your chat private and hidden from the whole world. Only you can access the hidden chat with a password created by you. Now this is something which seems to be impressive as whatsapp does not have this feature.
• Better Privacy: Whatsapp fetches all contacts from the phonebook and matches them with the whatsapp users and then automatically add all the contacts to the whatsapp contact list. While hikers have to send and accept friend requests to ensure privacy. Each hiker can choose to show or hide his last seen to his friend.However, Whatsapp also lets you hide last seen at: but there are still many bugs in their time stamp system.
• Movable to SD Card: The latest version of hike can now be moved to SD card of the device after installation. This is a great feature for those who have a little phone memory or already loaded with other apps. While whatsapp does not officially supports move-to-sdcard feature.

      It is not easy for any app developer to compete with the giants like whatsapp, but it seems like hike developers are struggling very hard and periodically updating their system, creating promotional offers to make the results more fruitful. In my opinion hike is much better than the other big players like Wechat and Line. So whatsapp can not be ignored as all of our friends live in it and they are the only reason why instant messengers came into existence.
