# Soaak vs Higher Self

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Higher Self at 91% against Soaak's 38%. Higher Self also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Soaak's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (307 vs 40). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soaak sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Higher Self sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $22.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Higher Self holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soaak has 307 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Soaak's written reviews are positive against 91% of Higher Self's.

Soaak ships an update every 11 days, Higher Self every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
