# ⁢Manifest vs pillowtalk

The clearest difference is ads: pillowtalk at none against ⁢Manifest's shown. pillowtalk also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 69%) and device support (3 vs 1). ⁢Manifest's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 353). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ⁢Manifest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and pillowtalk sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.90 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 — 4.7 for ⁢Manifest against 4.9 for pillowtalk. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ⁢Manifest has 2.8K ratings behind it against 353, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of ⁢Manifest's written reviews are positive against 90% of pillowtalk's.

⁢Manifest ships an update weekly, pillowtalk every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
