# Wellspent vs Mental

The clearest difference is rating: Mental at 4.8 against Wellspent's 4.1. Mental also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 39%) and ads (none vs shown). Wellspent's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wellspent sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Mental sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mental holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mental has 2.8K ratings behind it against 374, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Wellspent's written reviews are positive against 74% of Mental's.

Wellspent ships an update every 4 days, Mental fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
