# Bedhead vs SleepSense

The clearest difference is rating: Bedhead at 5.0 against SleepSense's 4.2. SleepSense's advantage is ratings volume (464 vs 2) and chart position (#44 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bedhead sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and SleepSense sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bedhead holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepSense has 464 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Bedhead ships an update every 3 days, SleepSense every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
