# Worrydolls vs innerFriend

The clearest difference is rating: Worrydolls at 4.8 against innerFriend's 4.3. Worrydolls also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 7). innerFriend's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Worrydolls sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and innerFriend sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Worrydolls holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worrydolls has 15K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Worrydolls's written reviews are positive against 96% of innerFriend's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
