Both are free to download. 25 minutes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Sloth sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
25 minutes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 70 and 33 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 25 minutes's written reviews are positive against 73% of Smart Sloth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
25 minutes ships an update every 6 weeks, Smart Sloth every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
