Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SleepMapper at 4.7 against EllieGrid's 3.8. SleepMapper also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 72). EllieGrid's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 30%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. EllieGrid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. SleepMapper asks for nothing beyond the download.
SleepMapper holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepMapper has 3.8K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of SleepMapper's written reviews are positive against 56% of EllieGrid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SleepMapper ships an update every 2 months, EllieGrid every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
