# The Breath SOURCE vs DeepSleep

The clearest difference is ratings volume: The Breath SOURCE at 169 against DeepSleep's 1. DeepSleep's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Breath SOURCE sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and DeepSleep sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DeepSleep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Breath SOURCE has 169 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Breath SOURCE ships an update fortnightly, DeepSleep every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
