# Gratitude vs SEE

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SEE at none against Gratitude's 17. SEE also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Gratitude's advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gratitude sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. SEE asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Gratitude against 5.0 for SEE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gratitude has 45K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Gratitude ships an update every 8 days, SEE every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
