# Settle vs Nervine

The clearest difference is monetization model: Nervine at free with in-app purchases against Settle's subscription. Nervine also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Settle's advantage is ratings volume (174 vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Settle sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Nervine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nervine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Settle has 174 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Settle ships an update every 9 days, Nervine every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
