ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Be Safe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Be Safe's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mental Health's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Be Safe ships an update every 3 months, Mental Health every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
