# Keep vs innerFriend

The clearest difference is review sentiment: innerFriend at 96% against Keep's 52%. innerFriend also leads on ads (none vs shown). Keep's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (17K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Keep sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and innerFriend sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Keep holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keep has 17K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Keep's written reviews are positive against 96% of innerFriend's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Keep ships an update weekly, innerFriend every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
