# Sloth vs neurolist

The clearest difference is rating: neurolist at 4.8 against Sloth's 4.0. neurolist also leads on ratings volume (912 vs 182). Sloth's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sloth sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and neurolist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

neurolist holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: neurolist has 912 ratings behind it against 182, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Sloth's written reviews are positive against 60% of neurolist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sloth ships an update fortnightly, neurolist every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
