# Playbook vs NURU

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NURU at 100% against Playbook's 63%. NURU also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Playbook's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Playbook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $18.00 per month and NURU sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NURU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playbook has 119 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Playbook's written reviews are positive against 100% of NURU's.

Playbook ships an update weekly, NURU every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
