# Happy vs Claude Code Notifier Companion

The clearest difference is update cadence: Happy at weekly against Claude Code Notifier Companion's every 4 months. Happy also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1K vs 8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month and Claude Code Notifier Companion sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy has 1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Happy's written reviews are positive against 75% of Claude Code Notifier Companion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Happy ships an update weekly, Claude Code Notifier Companion every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
