# Ultrahuman vs Hemingway Performance

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ultrahuman at free with in-app purchases against Hemingway Performance's subscription. Ultrahuman also leads on ratings volume (8K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Hemingway Performance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ultrahuman sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.90 per month and Hemingway Performance sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hemingway Performance holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultrahuman has 8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ultrahuman ships an update every 4 days, Hemingway Performance every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
