# HarmLess vs Humans Anonymous

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HarmLess at 83% against Humans Anonymous's 38%. HarmLess also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Humans Anonymous's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HarmLess sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Humans Anonymous sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HarmLess holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9K and 4K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of HarmLess's written reviews are positive against 38% of Humans Anonymous's.

HarmLess ships an update fortnightly, Humans Anonymous every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
