# Night Routine vs SleepSense

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Night Routine at 83% against SleepSense's 7%. Night Routine also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.9). SleepSense's advantage is ratings volume (294 vs 5) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Routine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase 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.

Night Routine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepSense has 294 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
