# Awesome Breathing vs Breathwork Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Awesome Breathing at 4.9 against Breathwork Timer's 4.3. Awesome Breathing also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 8). Breathwork Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Awesome Breathing sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Breathwork Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Awesome Breathing holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Awesome Breathing has 1.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Awesome Breathing's written reviews are positive against 100% of Breathwork Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Awesome Breathing ships an update every 5 months, Breathwork Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
