# Curvy Yoga Studio vs Curl Compass

The clearest difference is monetization model: Curl Compass at free against Curvy Yoga Studio's subscription. Curvy Yoga Studio's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Curvy Yoga Studio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Curl Compass sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Curvy Yoga Studio against 5.0 for Curl Compass. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Curvy Yoga Studio has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Curvy Yoga Studio ships an update every 6 weeks, Curl Compass every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
