Verdict

The call

CigLit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CigLit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepSafe has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SleepSafe's written reviews are positive against 50% of CigLit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SleepSafe ships an update every 2 weeks, CigLit weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
