# Timefully vs Meditation Nest

Timefully and Meditation Nest both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Timefully's written reviews are positive against 58% of Meditation Nest's. Timefully also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Meditation Nest's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 1.1K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timefully sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Meditation Nest sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. 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 Timefully against 4.7 for Meditation Nest. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meditation Nest has 31K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Timefully's written reviews are positive against 58% of Meditation Nest's.

Timefully ships an update every 8 days, Meditation Nest every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
