Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Aspire Hypnosis at 4.6 against Hypnosis's 3.7. Aspire Hypnosis also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 7). Hypnosis's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 26 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Aspire Hypnosis sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hypnosis sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aspire Hypnosis holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aspire Hypnosis has 86 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Aspire Hypnosis's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hypnosis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Aspire Hypnosis ships an update every 26 months, Hypnosis every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
