# SleepSense vs Swerva

The clearest difference is rating: Swerva at 5.0 against SleepSense's 4.3. SleepSense's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (570 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SleepSense sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Swerva sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Swerva holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SleepSense has 570 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SleepSense ships an update every 6 days, Swerva fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
