# Worrydolls vs Alba Mind

The clearest difference is rating: Worrydolls at 4.8 against Alba Mind's 3.7. Worrydolls also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 6). Alba Mind's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Worrydolls sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Alba Mind sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Worrydolls holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worrydolls has 15K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Worrydolls's written reviews are positive against 91% of Alba Mind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Worrydolls ships an update every 3 weeks, Alba Mind weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
