# Happy vs CodeVibe

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Happy at 991 against CodeVibe's 1. Happy also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month and CodeVibe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Happy against 5.0 for CodeVibe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy has 991 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Happy ships an update weekly, CodeVibe every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
