# mySleepButton vs Pzizz

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pzizz at 9.7K against mySleepButton's 210. Pzizz also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mySleepButton sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Pzizz sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pzizz holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pzizz has 9.7K ratings behind it against 210, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of mySleepButton's written reviews are positive against 72% of Pzizz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

mySleepButton ships an update every 5 months, Pzizz every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
