# Shimmerly vs Harmony

The clearest difference is monetization model: Harmony at free with in-app purchases against Shimmerly's subscription. Harmony also leads on ratings volume (9.9K vs 1.1K). Shimmerly's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 36%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shimmerly sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Harmony sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Shimmerly against 4.7 for Harmony. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Harmony has 9.9K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Shimmerly's written reviews are positive against 36% of Harmony's.

Shimmerly ships an update every 5 days, Harmony every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
