# Volkano Active vs Health

The clearest difference is rating: Volkano Active at 4.7 against Health's 3.0. Volkano Active also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). Health's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Health sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Volkano Active asks for nothing beyond the download.

Volkano Active holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volkano Active has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Volkano Active ships an update every 2 months, Health every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
