# Vilja vs PlayWellMinds

The clearest difference is update cadence: PlayWellMinds at every 8 days against Vilja's monthly. PlayWellMinds also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Vilja's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vilja sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PlayWellMinds sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vilja holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vilja has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Vilja's written reviews are positive against 100% of PlayWellMinds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vilja ships an update monthly, PlayWellMinds every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
