Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BePresent at 68% against My Impact's 15%. BePresent also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). My Impact's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BePresent sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. My Impact asks for nothing beyond the download.
BePresent holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5.

My Impact ships an update every 3 months, BePresent every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
