Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Anxiety Tracker゜ at none against Rootd's shown. Anxiety Tracker゜ also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Rootd's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 320). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Rootd sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Anxiety Tracker゜ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rootd holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rootd has 10K ratings behind it against 320, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Rootd's written reviews are positive against 92% of Anxiety Tracker゜'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rootd ships an update every 5 days, Anxiety Tracker゜ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
