# EQ.app vs ThinkBetter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ThinkBetter at 100% against EQ.app's 50%. ThinkBetter also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). EQ.app's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (118 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EQ.app sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and ThinkBetter sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EQ.app holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EQ.app has 118 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of EQ.app's written reviews are positive against 100% of ThinkBetter'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 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
