# Heartwell vs Thyself

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thyself at 100% against Heartwell's 30%. Thyself also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Heartwell's advantage is ratings volume (5.9K vs 8) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Heartwell sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Thyself sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thyself holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heartwell has 5.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Heartwell's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thyself's.

Heartwell ships an update every 9 days, Thyself weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
