# The Tapping Solution vs Stress Therapy

The clearest difference is ads: Stress Therapy at none against The Tapping Solution's shown. Stress Therapy also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). The Tapping Solution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 1.8K) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Tapping Solution sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Stress Therapy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for The Tapping Solution against 4.8 for Stress Therapy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Tapping Solution has 24K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of The Tapping Solution's written reviews are positive against 77% of Stress Therapy's.

The Tapping Solution ships an update every 3 weeks, Stress Therapy every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
