Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MAA Consciousness at 100% against PESI's 14%. MAA Consciousness also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). PESI's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PESI sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. MAA Consciousness asks for nothing beyond the download.
MAA Consciousness holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PESI has 3.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of PESI's written reviews are positive against 100% of MAA Consciousness's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
