# Harmony Self Hypnosis & Sleep vs Release

The clearest difference is monetization model: Release at free with in-app purchases against Harmony Self Hypnosis & Sleep's subscription. Release also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.2). Harmony Self Hypnosis & Sleep's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 4). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Harmony Self Hypnosis & Sleep sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Release sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Release holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Harmony Self Hypnosis & Sleep has 4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Harmony Self Hypnosis & Sleep's written reviews are positive against 100% of Release's.
