# HarmLess vs Relapse

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Relapse at none against HarmLess's 14. Relapse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). HarmLess's advantage is ratings volume (8.1K vs 8). On price 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. Relapse asks for nothing beyond the download.

Relapse 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 8, 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 Relapse's.
