Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ToWell at 2.0 against Z's 1.5. Z's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ToWell sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Z asks for nothing beyond the download.
ToWell holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Z has 88 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Z's written reviews are positive against 0% of ToWell's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Z ships an update every 2 weeks, ToWell every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
