# Now冥想 vs 睡眠助手

The clearest difference is rating: 睡眠助手 at 5.0 against Now冥想's 4.5. 睡眠助手 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Now冥想's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (277 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Now冥想 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and 睡眠助手 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.49 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

睡眠助手 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Now冥想 has 277 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Now冥想's written reviews are positive against 100% of 睡眠助手's.

Now冥想 ships an update every 3 weeks, 睡眠助手 monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
