# That Life vs THRIIIVE

The clearest difference is rating: That Life at 4.8 against THRIIIVE's 3.6. That Life also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). THRIIIVE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. That Life sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and THRIIIVE sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That Life holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of That Life's written reviews are positive against 100% of THRIIIVE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

That Life ships an update daily, THRIIIVE weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
