Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CES 2026 at 4.6 against HLTH's 4.0. CES 2026 also leads on review sentiment (21% vs 4%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). HLTH's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CES 2026 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CES 2026 has 1.5K ratings behind it against 230, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 4% of HLTH's written reviews are positive against 21% of CES 2026's.
HLTH ships an update every 2 weeks, CES 2026 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
