# Affirmations Recorder vs Whisperloop

The clearest difference is monetization model: Affirmations Recorder at free with in-app purchases against Whisperloop's subscription. Affirmations Recorder also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and review sentiment (82% vs 50%). Whisperloop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months).
