ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

마인드카페 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 마인드카페 has 54 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of Haru Meditations's written reviews are positive against 84% of 마인드카페's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Haru Meditations ships an update every 9 days, 마인드카페 weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
