# Anxiety Relief vs Present

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Present at none against Anxiety Relief's 7. Present also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Anxiety Relief's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 2). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anxiety Relief sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Present asks for nothing beyond the download.

Present holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anxiety Relief has 76 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Anxiety Relief's written reviews are positive against 100% of Present's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
