Schallpause vs Resonance
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Schallpause
This app uses frequency-modulated music based on neuroscientific research to promote regeneration and improve sleep, concentration, and performance. It offers a new way to access music programs designed to positively influence the autonomic nervous system.
- Frequency-modulated music programs
- Supports regeneration and recovery
- Improves sleep quality
- Enhances concentration
- Based on neuroscientific research
- Includes nature sounds and binaural beats

Schallpause - frequenzmodulierte Musik Schallpause ist ein Regenerations-System. Medizinisch ausgedrückt: Leistungssteigerung entsteht anhand der richtigen Balance im vegetativen Nervensystem durch abwechselnde Aktivierung des Nervus Sympathikus (Kampf und Flucht) und des Nervus Parasympathikus (Erholung und Reflexion). Der Neurowissenschaftler Steven Porges fand experimentell heraus, dass sich durch die Aktivierung des Musculus stapedius im Ohr der Parasympathikus durch eine bestimmte Form der Frequenzmodulationen technisch durch Musikstücke aktivieren und trainieren lässt. Nach Porges fällt es Menschen immer leichter, durch regelmäßige Beschallung mit frequenzmodulierter Musik, gezielt zu regenerieren. Mit positiven Folgen auf Schlaf, Konzentrationsfähigkeit und Leistungssteigerung. Mit der kostenfreien „Schallpause-App“ bietet sich jetzt ein neuer Zugangsweg zu unseren Musikprogrammen. Modernste neurowissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse eröffnen ein zielgerichtetes musikalisches Wirkungsspektrum: „Regeneration“. Das vegetative Nervensystem und bestimmte Hirnareale lassen sich durch spezielle Modifikationen von Schallfrequenzen positiv beeinflussen. Die projekt dialog gmbh ist erfolgreicher Vorreiter in diesem Gebiet mit viel Erfahrung und bietet mit der „Schallpause“ App eine innovative Lösung für hochbelastete Leistungsträger aus Wirtschaft und Sport und für alle regenerationsbedürftigen Menschen. „Schallpause“ ist mehr als Musik im eigentlichen Sinn und auch so zu hören, sie ist Teil eines Regenerationsprogramms. Die eigens für die „Schallpause“ komponierten Musikstücke werden in technisch sehr aufwendigen Schallfrequenz-Modulationsverfahren an die gewünschten Anforderungen angepaßt - Schlaf - Regeneration - Energie Zum Einsatz kommen eine Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Verfahren wie z.b.: die Schumann-Resonanz-Frequenzen, Binaurale und Monaurale - Beats zur Unterstützung der Synchronizität beider Gehirnhälften, die Polyvagal Therorie (Human Voice Speech - Technik) - eine Neubeschreibung des Nervensystems, pure nature sounds - die entspannenden Klänge der Natur - um nur einige zu nennen. Wir wünschen Ihnen viele erfolgreiche „Schallpausen“ !

Resonance
This app personalizes breathing exercises by finding your unique resonance frequency, which optimizes heart rate variability. It uses live biofeedback from compatible smartwatches or chest straps to train you at your ideal pace for improved coherence and well-being. Practice sessions can be done offline without a sensor after initial setup.
- Personalized resonance frequency detection
- Live HRV biofeedback
- Compatibility with smartwatches and chest straps
- Offline practice sessions
- Detailed session history and trend charts
- Customizable breath pacer with cues
- Private by design, no account needed

Most breathing apps give you someone else's breathing rate. Resonance: HRV Biofeedback finds yours. Your resonance frequency — the breathing pace that maximizes your heart rate variability (HRV) — is unique to you. It's usually 4.5 to 6.5 breaths per minute, but the exact rate is personal. Breathing there maximizes respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) — the natural rise and fall of your heart rate with each breath. A generic pace like "6 breaths per minute" misses it for most people. Resonance uses live HRV biofeedback to measure your actual resonance frequency, then trains you at that exact pace. START WITH THE WATCH YOU ALREADY OWN Turn on heart-rate broadcast on your Garmin, Polar, Samsung, or Fitbit watch and you're ready — no extra hardware to buy. Any Bluetooth chest strap or arm band works too (Polar H10, Garmin HRM-Pro, Wahoo TICKR, and more). You only need a sensor twice: for the 12-minute assessment that finds your frequency, and whenever you want live coherence biofeedback. Every daily practice session after that runs at your stored pace with no sensor at all. FIND YOUR FREQUENCY IN ABOUT 12 MINUTES A three-phase protocol — ASSESS, REFINE, HOLD — scores candidate breathing rates against your live HRV using the published Shaffer & Meehan (2020) six-criteria coherence model, then locks in your personal resonance frequency and refines it each session. LIVE HRV BIOFEEDBACK, NOT A BLACK BOX • Real-time heart-rate trace and frequency spectrum during every session • All six Shaffer coherence criteria live — peak LF power, single-peak dominance, LF concentration, peak height, SDNN, RMSSD • Watch your heart rate turn into a smooth, sine-like wave as heart coherence builds TRACK REAL IMPROVEMENT • Session Quality Score (0–100) after every session — time in coherence, RSA amplitude, and consistency, scored separately • Full session history with HRV trend charts for coherence, resonance, RMSSD, breathing pace, and heart rate • Shareable session cards with your actual heart-rate trace BUILT FOR DAILY PRACTICE • A calm breath pacer with visual, audio, and haptic cues for eyes-closed sessions • 10 sound packs and a breathing exercises library with multiple session modes • Custom inhale/exhale ratio and practice reminders PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your heart-rate data never leaves your device. No account, no cloud, no sign-up. Everything works offline. FREE TO START The full resonance assessment and unlimited practice are free. Resonance Pro adds the adaptive pacer, full breath history, the complete resonance score, sound packs, and the exercises library — available monthly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. THE SCIENCE Built on 30+ years of peer-reviewed HRV biofeedback research. The engine uses Lomb-Scargle spectral analysis, the HeartMath coherence ratio, and the full Shaffer six-criteria model, all computed on-device. Resonance: HRV Biofeedback is a wellness and breathing-training tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition; supported heart-rate sensors are consumer fitness devices, not medical hardware. Always seek a doctor's advice in addition to using this app, and before making any medical decisions. References: Task Force (1996) Lehrer et al. (2000) Shaffer & Ginsberg (2017) Shaffer & Meehan (2020) COMPATIBLE DEVICES Any consumer Bluetooth 4.0+ heart-rate sensor using the standard Heart Rate Service — smartwatches, chest straps, and arm bands. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone training heart coherence and resonance frequency breathing as a daily practice. First-timers who want a guided daily practice that works, athletes using breathwork to recover and downregulate, and researchers who want live spectral analysis, RMSSD, SDNN, and raw R-R export. No prior HRV knowledge needed. Resonance frequency breathing. HRV biofeedback. Measured, not guessed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Resonance at none against Schallpause's shown. Resonance also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Schallpause sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Resonance sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Schallpause ships an update every 6 months, Resonance weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
