# Happier vs Clever Polls

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.

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.

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.

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.
