# Headspace vs Redacted

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Headspace at 71% against Redacted's 20%. Headspace also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 64 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). Redacted's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and price ($0.29 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Headspace costs $3.99 and Redacted $0.29 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Redacted holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Headspace has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Headspace's written reviews are positive against 20% of Redacted's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Headspace ships an update every 2 months, Redacted every 64 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
