# Sleep vs Raxup

The clearest difference is monetization model: Raxup at free with in-app purchases against Sleep's subscription. Raxup also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (80% vs 60%). Sleep's advantage is ratings volume (9.6K vs 19) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sleep sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Raxup sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Raxup holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sleep has 9.6K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Sleep's written reviews are positive against 80% of Raxup's.

Sleep ships an update every 3 weeks, Raxup every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
