ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PIMSY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talkspace Provider has 890 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PIMSY's written reviews are positive against 23% of Talkspace Provider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PIMSY ships an update every 2 months, Talkspace Provider monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
