Are you feeling stressed, not quite yourself, or worried about a loved one? iChill is here to help. iChill teaches six wellness skills from the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)® and Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® to help you manage sensations associated with trauma and stress, enhancing your well-being. Based on the biology of the human nervous system, iChill helps us understand and regulate our body's natural rhythms. When in harmony, our nervous system aids in navigating life's challenges, helping us make sound decisions for ourselves and our community. This balanced state is called the Resilient Zone or "Okay Zone." Stressful events can bump us into the High Zone (anxious, uptight) or Low Zone (numb, disconnected). iChill helps us return to our Okay Zone, restoring balance. Regular practice of these skills can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, improving overall well-being. iChill benefits children, teens, and adults of all ages. It helps us answer the question, “What else is true?” leaning into our strengths to help manage distress in the present moment. iChill is not meant as a substitute for counseling with a licensed mental health professional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SomaShare at 4.8 against iChill's 4.2. SomaShare also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (179 vs 35). iChill's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (68% vs 55%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SomaShare sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $59.99 per year. iChill asks for nothing beyond the download.
SomaShare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SomaShare has 179 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of iChill's written reviews are positive against 55% of SomaShare's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iChill ships an update every 4 months, SomaShare every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
