# Body vs HeartMath

The clearest difference is ads: HeartMath at none against Body's shown. HeartMath also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Body's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Body sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $47.99 per month and HeartMath sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Body against 4.9 for HeartMath. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HeartMath has 4.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Body's written reviews are positive against 74% of HeartMath's.

Body ships an update every 2 months, HeartMath every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
