# The Mindfulness App vs SelfSpace

The clearest difference is update cadence: The Mindfulness App at fortnightly against SelfSpace's every 4 months. The Mindfulness App also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 1). SelfSpace's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Mindfulness App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SelfSpace sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SelfSpace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Mindfulness App has 7.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of The Mindfulness App's written reviews are positive against 100% of SelfSpace's.

The Mindfulness App ships an update fortnightly, SelfSpace every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
