# Intent vs Today

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Today at 100% against Intent's 33%. Today also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Intent's advantage is ratings volume (211 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intent sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Today sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Today holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intent has 211 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Intent's written reviews are positive against 100% of Today's.

Intent ships an update every 3 days, Today every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
