The Happier app gives you the tools, tips, and insights to build a happier life—based on the research of happiness expert Gretchen Rubin. Apps that tell you what to do will never work for everyone. Happier is designed to help you figure out what actually makes you happier, then gives you the tools and guidance to make it happen. WHAT YOU GET: Daily content to keep you moving forward: Learn from fresh tips, reflection prompts, quick challenges, and insights every day. Habit-building tools that match how you work: Try different tracking methods to find what clicks: streaks, photo logs, journal entries, number tracking, and more. Track any habit you choose—exercise, reading, sleep, relationships, creativity, organization, whatever matters to you. Personalized recommendations based on your personality: Take the Four Tendencies quiz to discover whether you’re an Obliger, Questioner, Upholder, or Rebel–then try the tools and approaches that fit your tendency, so you’re working with your nature instead of against it. Fun challenges when you need a boost: There’s always room for a bit of fun. Spin the Challenge Wheel for instant prompts you can complete in minutes—clear a drawer, text a friend, take ten deep breaths, try something new. Or, dive into a 7-day Jump-Start, designed to help you break out of old patterns. Whether you're focused on self improvement, personal growth, or simply building better daily habits, Happier gives you a flexible approach that adapts to your life.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Clever Polls at 4.5 against Happier's 3.9. Clever Polls also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). Happier's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (22% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Happier sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Clever Polls sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clever Polls holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happier has 57 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Happier's written reviews are positive against 0% of Clever Polls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Happier ships an update every 4 weeks, Clever Polls every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
