# HarmLess vs FearLessMind

The clearest difference is ads: FearLessMind at none against HarmLess's shown. FearLessMind also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). HarmLess's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (8.1K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HarmLess sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and FearLessMind sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FearLessMind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HarmLess has 8.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of HarmLess's written reviews are positive against 100% of FearLessMind's.

HarmLess ships an update fortnightly, FearLessMind every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 30, 2026 respectively.
