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. SleepStream 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Beatfulness sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beatfulness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beatfulness has 4.8K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of SleepStream 2's written reviews are positive against 79% of Beatfulness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SleepStream 2 ships an update every 2 months, Beatfulness every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
