# BetterHelp vs Meomind

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BetterHelp at none against Meomind's 11. BetterHelp also leads on ratings volume (150K vs 863) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). Meomind's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (89% vs 80%). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meomind sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. BetterHelp asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for BetterHelp against 4.9 for Meomind. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BetterHelp has 150K ratings behind it against 863, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of BetterHelp's written reviews are positive against 89% of Meomind's.

BetterHelp ships an update monthly, Meomind every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
