# Sleep Tracker vs Simple Sleep

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Sleep at 100% against Sleep Tracker's 49%. Simple Sleep also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Sleep Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sleep Tracker sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Simple Sleep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Sleep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sleep Tracker has 8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Sleep Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Sleep's.

Sleep Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Simple Sleep weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
