# Pillow vs Easy sleep

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pillow at 96K against Easy sleep's 17. Pillow also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). Easy sleep's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pillow sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Easy sleep sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pillow holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pillow has 96K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Pillow ships an update every 11 days, Easy sleep every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
