# Reflect vs How Often

The clearest difference is update cadence: Reflect at weekly against How Often's every 2 months. Reflect also leads on ratings volume (62 vs 3) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). How Often's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reflect sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and How Often sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

How Often holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reflect has 62 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Reflect's written reviews are positive against 100% of How Often's.

Reflect ships an update weekly, How Often every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
