# Progress 2.0 vs Walden

The clearest difference is monetization model: Progress 2.0 at freemium against Walden's subscription. Progress 2.0 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Walden's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 75%) and ratings volume (41 vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Progress 2.0 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Walden sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Progress 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walden has 41 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Progress 2.0's written reviews are positive against 91% of Walden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Progress 2.0 ships an update every 6 weeks, Walden every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
