# RoutineFlow vs Laps

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Laps at 100% against RoutineFlow's 60%. Laps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). RoutineFlow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 26). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RoutineFlow sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Laps sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Laps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoutineFlow has 2.4K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of RoutineFlow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Laps's.

RoutineFlow ships an update every 5 days, Laps every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 6, 2026 respectively.
