Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RespiRelax+ at 70% against SkinSAFE's 29%. RespiRelax+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). SkinSAFE's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 16). On price, update cadence, ads and device support 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. SkinSAFE sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. RespiRelax+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
SkinSAFE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkinSAFE has 1.9K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of RespiRelax+'s written reviews are positive against 29% of SkinSAFE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RespiRelax+ ships an update every 3 weeks, SkinSAFE monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
