# SleepLoop vs SleepHack

The clearest difference is ads: SleepLoop at none against SleepHack's shown. SleepLoop also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 2). SleepHack's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SleepLoop sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SleepHack sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for SleepLoop against 5.0 for SleepHack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepLoop has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
