# Beatfulness vs RiChakra

The clearest difference is rating: Beatfulness at 4.8 against RiChakra's 4.3. Beatfulness also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). RiChakra's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beatfulness sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and RiChakra sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beatfulness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beatfulness has 4.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Beatfulness's written reviews are positive against 82% of RiChakra's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Beatfulness ships an update every 9 days, RiChakra monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
