Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sounds True at free with in-app purchases against Eckhart Tolle Now's subscription. Sounds True also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). Eckhart Tolle Now's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 26%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sounds True sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Eckhart Tolle Now sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sounds True holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sounds True has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Sounds True's written reviews are positive against 50% of Eckhart Tolle Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sounds True ships an update every 2 months, Eckhart Tolle Now every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
