# Calm vs Medi Land

The clearest difference is rating: Calm at 4.8 against Medi Land's 3.3. Calm also leads on ratings volume (2M vs 11) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Medi Land's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Calm sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Medi Land sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Calm holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calm has 2M ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Calm's written reviews are positive against 45% of Medi Land's.

Calm ships an update every 5 days, Medi Land monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
