# Happy Scale vs yourWeight

The clearest difference is monetization model: yourWeight at free with in-app purchases against Happy Scale's subscription. Happy Scale's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (91% vs 57%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy Scale sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and yourWeight sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy Scale holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy Scale has 58K ratings behind it against 579, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Happy Scale's written reviews are positive against 57% of yourWeight's.

Happy Scale ships an update weekly, yourWeight monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
