# HeartMath vs Being Humano

The clearest difference is ads: HeartMath at none against Being Humano's shown. HeartMath also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 7). Being Humano's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HeartMath sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per year and Being Humano sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for HeartMath against 5.0 for Being Humano. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HeartMath has 4.6K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of HeartMath's written reviews are positive against 100% of Being Humano's.
