# Eight Sleep vs Loftie

The clearest difference is rating: Eight Sleep at 4.8 against Loftie's 4.3. Eight Sleep also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (17K vs 1.4K). Loftie's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 27%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eight Sleep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Loftie sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eight Sleep holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eight Sleep has 17K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Eight Sleep's written reviews are positive against 54% of Loftie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Eight Sleep ships an update every 4 days, Loftie every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
