Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hypnosis at 100% against Environmental Sounds's 40%. Hypnosis also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 38 months). Environmental Sounds's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Environmental Sounds holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hypnosis has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Environmental Sounds's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hypnosis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Environmental Sounds ships an update every 38 months, Hypnosis every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
