# Now冥想 vs 微基因

The clearest difference is rating: Now冥想 at 4.5 against 微基因's 2.3. Now冥想 also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 45%) and ratings volume (277 vs 14). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Now冥想 sells 35 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and 微基因 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Now冥想 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Now冥想 has 277 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Now冥想's written reviews are positive against 45% of 微基因's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
