# Rootd vs Solas Meditation VR

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rootd at 83% against Solas Meditation VR's 33%. Rootd also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). Solas Meditation VR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rootd sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Solas Meditation VR sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rootd holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rootd has 11K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Rootd's written reviews are positive against 33% of Solas Meditation VR's.

Rootd ships an update every 6 days, Solas Meditation VR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
