Do you remember when you learned to brush? Neither do we! It turns out, most people don’t brush properly. If you’ve ever wondered how well you’re brushing or if you’re reaching every spot, the Philips Sonicare app is here to help. The app brings more clarity, more confidence and more personal insights into your routine. When you connect your Sonicare toothbrush, you’ll unlock personalized coaching designed to help you strengthen your habits and brighten your smile. Please note you must have a connected toothbrush to use the app. By connecting to the app, you’ll also receive the latest updates to your brushing experience. Our most advanced toothbrush – the Next-Generation Sonicare DiamondClean 9900 Prestige – harmonizes with the app, creating an experience that’s smart and supportive, including: - Real-time guided brushing that helps you feel confident every session - SenseIQ technology that senses and adapts to you - Auto-sync so your brushing data stays updated, even when your phone’s not around Your Sonicare app experience will vary depending on which toothbrush you own and where you live: PREMIUM - Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, Next-Generation DiamondClean 9500, Next-Generation DiamondClean 9000, Next-Generation DiamondClean 8700, Next-Generation DiamondClean 8500, Next-Generation DiamondClean 8000 and DiamondClean Prestige 9900 — SenseIQ, mouth map, personalized guidance and tips. ADVANCED - DiamondClean Smart and FlexCare Platinum Connected – mouth map with position guidance and missed area notifications. ESSENTIAL - Sonicare 6500, Sonicare 7100, DiamondClean 9000 and ExpertClean - SmarTimer and brushing guides. In the Sonicare app: Brushing check-in You will receive an assessment of your technique after the first time you brush your teeth. This will provide a starting point to track improvements to your oral health routine over time. Real-time brushing guidance The Sonicare app checks your habits, like if you’re reaching all areas of your mouth, how long you brush or how much pressure you’re using, and coaches you with tailored advice. This coaching helps to ensure consistent, complete coverage, every time you brush. Dental Diary The Dental Diary helps you track all your oral health habits in one place – brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, and mouth rinsing – so you can spot trends and build a consistent routine. Brushing Streak The Brushing Streak feature helps motivate you to brush at least twice daily – morning and night – as recommended by dentists to prevent plaque buildup. Dashboard The Dashboard syncs with your Sonicare toothbrush to collect and display your brushing habits. You receive an easy-to-read report with insights to help support and improve your oral health. Brush head monitoring Automatically know when it’s time to replace your brush head. Bristles wear out and start losing effectiveness after about three months, so having a fresh replacement ensures the best cleaning. Automatic brush head reordering service Always have a fresh brush head when you need one. As the Sonicare app checks your brush head’s usage, the reordering service reminds you when you need a replacement, and can automatically place an order so it arrives just in time. The brush head smart reordering service is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan. Connect with Apple Health When you link the Sonicare app to the Apple Health app, you can track your brushing habits along with the rest of your health data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Philips Sonicare at 4.8 against Hyperice's 4.0. Philips Sonicare also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). Hyperice's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Philips Sonicare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Philips Sonicare has 57K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Philips Sonicare's written reviews are positive against 34% of Hyperice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Philips Sonicare ships an update every 2 months, Hyperice every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
