# XO Now vs Heartmonize

The clearest difference is monetization model: Heartmonize at freemium against XO Now's subscription. XO Now's advantage is ratings volume (198 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XO Now sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Heartmonize sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.9 for XO Now against 5.0 for Heartmonize. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XO Now has 198 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

XO Now ships an update every 5 weeks, Heartmonize every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
