# BE BOLD vs Breathe

The clearest difference is rating: Breathe at 5.0 against BE BOLD's 4.5. BE BOLD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BE BOLD sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Breathe sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Breathe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BE BOLD has 83 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BE BOLD ships an update every 9 days, Breathe every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
