# Rosebud vs My Human Code

The clearest difference is monetization model: Rosebud at freemium against My Human Code's subscription. Rosebud also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 15). My Human Code's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rosebud sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.00 per month and My Human Code 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 Rosebud against 4.9 for My Human Code. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rosebud has 3.4K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Rosebud's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Human Code's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
