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. Therapy in a Nutshell asks for nothing beyond the download.
Therapy in a Nutshell 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 Therapy in a Nutshell's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
