Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Insight Timer at freemium against ReikiAll's subscription. Insight Timer also leads on ratings volume (449K vs 1K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). ReikiAll's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 70%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Insight Timer sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ReikiAll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Insight Timer against 4.9 for ReikiAll.

Insight Timer ships an update weekly, ReikiAll every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
