# HeadUp vs Posture Tap

HeadUp and Posture Tap are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. HeadUp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Posture Tap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HeadUp ships an update every 3 weeks, Posture Tap monthly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
