# Centering Prayer vs The See App

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Centering Prayer at 18K against The See App's 21. Centering Prayer also leads on device support (3 vs 1). The See App's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Centering Prayer sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and The See App sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Centering Prayer against 4.9 for The See App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Centering Prayer has 18K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of Centering Prayer's written reviews are positive against 100% of The See App's.

Centering Prayer ships an update every 3 months, The See App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
