Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Unwinding Anxiety at freemium against Ease's subscription. Unwinding Anxiety also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 9) and device support (3 vs 1). Ease's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unwinding Anxiety sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Ease sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Unwinding Anxiety against 4.9 for Ease. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unwinding Anxiety has 4.9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Unwinding Anxiety's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ease's.
