# Now冥想 vs 麦瑞克

The clearest difference is rating: Now冥想 at 4.5 against 麦瑞克's 3.7. Now冥想 also leads on ratings volume (276 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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 麦瑞克 sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Now冥想 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Now冥想 has 276 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.
