Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Weightbot at free with in-app purchases against Happy Scale's subscription. Happy Scale's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 60%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, 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 Weightbot sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy Scale has 58K ratings behind it against 105, 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 60% of Weightbot's.
Happy Scale ships an update weekly, Weightbot every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
