# AFFiNE vs Relaxative

The clearest difference is rating: Relaxative at 5.0 against AFFiNE's 4.3. Relaxative also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.5). AFFiNE's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AFFiNE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Relaxative sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Relaxative holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AFFiNE has 36 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AFFiNE ships an update every 3 weeks, Relaxative every 8 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
