# Tame. vs HeartLib

The clearest difference is rating: HeartLib at 5.0 against Tame.'s 3.8. Tame.'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tame. sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and HeartLib sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HeartLib holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tame. has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tame. ships an update fortnightly, HeartLib every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
