# The Tapping Solution vs Ritual

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ritual at freemium against The Tapping Solution's subscription. Ritual also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). The Tapping Solution's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 69%) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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 Ritual sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 Ritual. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Tapping Solution has 24K ratings behind it against 3.6K, 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 69% of Ritual's.

The Tapping Solution ships an update every 3 weeks, Ritual every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
