Self-improvement is the improvement of one’s knowledge, status, or character by one’s own efforts. It’s the quest to make ourselves better in any and every facet of life. Self-improvement involves awareness, new learnings, discoveries about who we are and what makes us unique, and many insights and moments in which we see life and situations clearly. Self-improvement strategies: - Reading: books are great companions in our self-development journey, no matter what we want to improve. - Journaling: keeping a journal with regularity lets us discover patterns and recurring ideas. - Affirmations: daily affirmations let us deliberately focus on what we care about and bring more of it into our days. - Physical exercise: the body is an excellent source of information, and it constantly signals us what it needs. - Choose your words: what we say and how we say it is the first step to understanding ourselves better! - Do something for the first time: get out of your comfort zone and try out something new. Self-improvement almost always starts with self-awareness and the ability to transform your habits. The process of continual development connects us deeply to our essence. The people that choose self-improvement have powerful energy. They develop life principles, which provide a solid ground to stand on when hard days come.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Self at 5.0 against Tappily's 4.3. Self also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Tappily's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tappily sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Self sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Self holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tappily has 68 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Tappily's written reviews are positive against 100% of Self's.
Tappily ships an update monthly, Self every 12 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
