# Hearty App vs IMPACTY

The clearest difference is ads: Hearty App at none against IMPACTY's shown. Hearty App also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 1) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). IMPACTY's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hearty App sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and IMPACTY sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IMPACTY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearty App has 2.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
