Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: OmAhHum at free with in-app purchases against Alan Watts's subscription. OmAhHum also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Alan Watts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (152 vs 20). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OmAhHum sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Alan Watts sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for OmAhHum against 4.7 for Alan Watts. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alan Watts has 152 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of OmAhHum's written reviews are positive against 87% of Alan Watts's.
OmAhHum ships an update fortnightly, Alan Watts every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
