# SilentLog vs How are you?

The clearest difference is review sentiment: How are you? at 100% against SilentLog's 41%. How are you? also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). SilentLog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (37 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SilentLog sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and How are you? sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.69 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

How are you? holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SilentLog has 37 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of SilentLog's written reviews are positive against 100% of How are you?'s.

SilentLog ships an update every 5 weeks, How are you? monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
