Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Joyrun at 4.8 against Now冥想's 4.5. Joyrun also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 277). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Joyrun sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Now冥想 sells 35 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Joyrun holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joyrun has 1.5K ratings behind it against 277, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Joyrun's written reviews are positive against 68% of Now冥想's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
