# Happier Meditation vs Sequence

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sequence at freemium against Happier Meditation's subscription. Sequence also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Happier Meditation's advantage is ratings volume (143K vs 3) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happier Meditation sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Sequence sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Happier Meditation against 4.7 for Sequence. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happier Meditation has 143K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Happier Meditation ships an update fortnightly, Sequence weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
