# zZz vs Bedtime

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bedtime at 59% against zZz's 0%. Bedtime also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (385 vs 11). zZz's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. zZz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bedtime sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bedtime holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bedtime has 385 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of zZz's written reviews are positive against 59% of Bedtime's.

zZz ships an update every 4 days, Bedtime every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
