# SleepStream 2 vs SleepSpace

The clearest difference is update cadence: SleepSpace at weekly against SleepStream 2's every 2 months. SleepSpace also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (859 vs 33). SleepStream 2's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SleepStream 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and SleepSpace sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SleepSpace holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepSpace has 859 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of SleepStream 2's written reviews are positive against 57% of SleepSpace'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, SleepSpace weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
