# Happier vs Outfit Formulas

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Outfit Formulas at 66% against Happier's 22%. Outfit Formulas also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). Happier's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happier sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Outfit Formulas sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Outfit Formulas holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outfit Formulas has 1.2K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Happier's written reviews are positive against 66% of Outfit Formulas's.

Happier ships an update every 4 weeks, Outfit Formulas every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
